Illustrator :: Moving Object Perpendicular To Its Perspective Grid
Apr 23, 2012
I have been following this tutorial: [URL] .... in which artwork is mapped to the perspective grid.
Towards the end of the video (7:00) a sign is mapped to the left grid then moved perpendicular along the right grid ... this is achieved by holding down the tilde key.
When I hold down the tilde key and move the object (which is selected with the perspective selection tool, with the correct grid selected ) it does not map it perpendicular as in the video.
I have deleted my illustrator preferences file (in case any settings were causing this feature not to work). Also if I create a new object and press the tilde key and drag I can create multiple instances, so the tilde key at least in this case is being recognized.

Let say I have a pot of flower I drew in Illustrator and I want to place it on a Perspective grid so that I will have half of the drawing snap on Left Grid in the perspective and another half snap to Right Grid?
Is there any easy way to do this without first slicing the artwork in half and place them individually?

When using the perspective grid tool and type, I have a word on the right side of the grid in perspective, and I want to make a shadow of this word flat on the bottom grid. (Like how a tall building casts a shadow flat on the ground)
I tried using the shear tool to do it but it is a bit tricky getting it just right. There must be an easier way to do it within the perspective tool grid.
When I type the word and align it to the bottom grid, how do I rotate it whilst still being aligned in perspective on the bottom grid?If I try and rotate the word using the selection tool it rotates off axis so it is no longer laying flat on the bottom grid.
Words placed on the bottom grid always read from the left vanishing point - I want the word to read from the right vanishing point so it aligns with my word on the right grid wall.

I'm working on a sticker with a Big Ben style clock on it. I've created it using the 2-point perspective ability in Illustrator. Unfortunately, I've decided that I want it to feel "taller" than when I started, so I need to shift the perspective. However, when I use the Perspective Grid Tool and adjust the ground or horizon line, it only adjusts the grid, not the artwork. Is there a way to have the artwork adjust with the grid so that I can move the artwork around in 3D space to find the right perspective?

I read somewhere that it is possible to tilt the whole perspective grid (like rotating), using the Horizon Level and Shift/Alt. This is not working for me. How to tilt the perspective grid.

How to use the perspective tool and i understand that i can draw a grid onto this but the grid always seems to be out of whack when i do and the line spacing isn't at all perfect. What i want to be able to do is draw a grid with equal spacing and have the ability to warp this so it looks all bent up going off into the distance.
I can see this is going to be something that i have to draw in manually but i'm kind of hoping that i can have the bulk of the job done for me.
However, if i do have to draw it manually, how would i go about spacing the lines equally along a wafty curved line???

I've an image of a picture and i want to add this picture in the perspective grid in illustrator. How can I add this picture?
Another question: If you write a square with the rectangle tool in illustrator and you select a face in the left up corner, is there a way to make the square how can i explain... You move the swuare on theat face with the mouse and when it reach the "border" it will start move on the other face, just like a wall, if you put a piece of pare in a corner, the paper will assume the shape of the corner. Is it possible to do this instead of create 2 square and merge them in the corner?

I'd like to have a document where I have type skewed on both sides of the perspective grid. I know how to put it on the left side of the grid: Create the type, get the Perspective Grid Selection Tool, select the type and bring it onto the grid and it skews to the angle of the grid. However, when I try to do it on the right hand side of the grid it doesn't allow me. It only lets me angle it on the left hand side of the grid.
How can I get it to write on the right hand side too?

Set up the perspective grid tool on a birdseye (oblique) aerial? I'm starting to understand how to create a basic perspective drawing on a blank canvas, but aligning the grid to an existing image is completely escaping me.

I have a word EDGE and I try to place it in the middle of the perspective grid, so the half left follow the left grid,
while the half right follow the right gird.
something like this:
Right now I use two graphics, and I was curious, whether I can use one image, place it in the center of the grid, and have it automatically fold over the left and right side. I'm working on very complex vector and I would rather not split it into half to create two independent images.
Is there a way to do it ?
Whenever I like to adjust the perspective using the drag points, the graphics won't adjust accordingly. I find myself refining the persective grid and than manually, from scratch readjusting all my artowork. Is there a way to do automatically ?

I've got a one point perspective set up perfectly for my wall as on the picture below, to place the 3D wording onto it. Except that the perspective grid ONLY lets you use the left side, for some reason the right side is unavailable. On the active panel, the right side is light blue and says "no active grid". Tried everything, including dragging the left grid over to the right side - but when you place things on it then they are reflected in the wrong direction (text backwards).

I'd like each side of the perspective grid to match the two different angles that are the sides of this building. I'm trying to get something done using it and have never used it before.

I've created a 2-point persective grid on top of a cube (see image below). I'm tyring to recreate the cube and have started by inserting some purple squares into the right side of the perspective grid. I've drawn an ellipse at the corner of the original cube that I'm trying to copy, to indicate where I need my squares to stretch to.
How I can stretch my purple squares in perspective so that they match the end of the orignal cube as indicated in the image below? I've tried skewing but this doesn't skew in perspective.

Using Illustrator CS5 I am drawing a 5 drawer cart in the 2D Perspective grid. After drawing one drawer with connected sides, back and bottom I want to be able to copy and move this drawer 4 times into the correct positions in the cart. I do not want to redraw the drawer 4 times. I know I must use the Perspective Selection Tool to do this. However, I cannot get it to move the entire copied drawer into the next position. I have tried using PathFinder to unite the parts of the drawer and the Compound Path command but to no avail. How can I accomplish this task?

It would be very beneficial to view all of the internal lines of the sectioned rectangular prism that the perspective grid consists of. This is a standard workflow for drawing 3 dimensional objects. Without this, it is very difficult to draw accurately.
Essentially this but in perspective mode: [URL] .....
This doesn't appear possible to in CS5. Please specify if this is not the case and if it is possible in CS6.

I was expecting that existing artwork on a perspective grid would move/adapt when changing grid properties like vanishing point etc. but it looks like the artwork just stays unchanged.
I couldn't find anything on the net - is there a way to change the artwork accordingly with the perspective grid?

I have a tall rectangle I want to place on the horizontal plane of the perspective grid.
Clicking that plane in the widget, or slecting the rectangle and hitting 2, results in the rectangle oriented towards the right vanishing point (or 2:00). I need it to point the other way, toward the left vanishing point (to 10:00).
Is there some way to force an object to do that?

I am using the perspective grid to make a 3d looking building. I want to use a brick pattern for the sides of the building. I am having trouble makeing this look right when the perspective is skewed a lot (see right brick wall), the left brick wall isn't too bad. I used an envelope mesh 1 2 rows and 1 column. Is this the only way to preserve pattern when skeweing an object?

I am attempting to wrap some 2D text around an object, which has perspective. See example below:
The above is my attempt at wrapping the word "NEIGHBORHOOD" around the object. What I did was Object > Envelope Distort > Make with Mesh... and just approximated how it should look by using a combination of guides. There has got to be a better, more precise way of doing this in illustrator.

I have my grid set to 10px (with subdivisions set to 1). Snap to Grid is enabled. I had "Align New Objects To Pixel Grid" checked when I created the document.
When I draw an object, it will snap to the 10px grid as I am drawing it. However, when I go to move the object around, it will not snap to the grid at all. In Photoshop and Fireworks, this was a piece of cake, but in Illustrator I've never been able to get this to work, nor find a solution for it. The only way I can kind of get it to work is to set my grid to 1px, but I really don't want to be zooming in that far constantly when moving things around.
For what it's worth, this is happening in Illustrator CC, but I've had this same issue with older versions as well.

Having trouble making a perfect alignment, 90 degrees, 180 degrees etc. When object is duplicated and rotated it appears to be out of alignment with original. Is there a finer control for snapping to grid/object without having to use increments or perhaps adjusting them?

I have a problem with the z axis snap along grid points and lines in the perspective view, now i know that there isn’t a z grid visible but surely there is one non visible (like the z grid in the 2d views)that i can snap too. When i try to snap to points and lines in perspective mode, is the Object or sub-object just slams down to the grid and doesn’t move from there.

That option seems to cause the corners to snap to some other points which aren't the grid, and making vertical lines impossible.
Is there a way to make it use the grid just like how the rectangle select tool does?
