Selecting and transforming objects in perspective
You can select objects in perspective using selection tools, like the Selection tool and using
the Perspective Selection tool ( ). The Perspective Selection tool uses the active plane
settings to select the objects. If you use the Selection tool to drag an object that was drawn in
perspective, it maintains its original perspective but it doesn't change to match the
perspective grid.
Next, you will move and resize several of the rectangles you drew.
