Understanding the perspective grid
In Illustrator, using the perspective grid and the Perspective Selection tool, you can easily
draw or render artwork in perspective. You can define the perspective grid in one-point,
two-point, or three-point perspective, define a scale, move the grid planes, and draw objects
directly in perspective. You can even attach flat art onto the grid planes by dragging with the
Perspective Selection tool.
