SSR Like Method for different perspectives?

I'm aware of the SSR method for creating Isometric objects--which works great!--I'm wondering if there's something similar for other perspectives. I've tried working with the 3D tools in Illustrator, and while they're adequate, I like the shapes that come out of the SSR method a lot more.

I'm not looking to copy this logo, but I am looking to create a complex shape at a similar perspective. I just don't know what that perspective is called so it's made googling difficult:

If someone could point me in the right direction I'd be very thankful. Thank you!

    The top of the wall is about 22 degrees slope

    So I guess  to draw in 3D you would need to draw lines at 90 , 22 and158 degrees.

    Could make some guides or a grid even, with the line segment tool.

    Or draw without then with the pen tool and have smart guides help via Preferences and use them to try and inference where the intersections etc  are going to be (best in outline mode)

    I don't know if you could just change the values in the isometric action from 30 to whatever your wall is

    eg

    Scale vertically 86.602%, Shear -22 degress, and Rotate -22 degrees.

    probably not..
