Adding symbols to the perspective grid
Adding symbols to a perspective plane when the grid is visible is a great way to add repeat-
ing items, such as windows. Like text, you can bring symbols into perspective. Next, you
will add a symbol to one of the boxes.
Note
Symbols that you wish to bring into perspective cannot contain such
things as raster images, envelopes, or gradient meshes.
1. With the Perspective Selection tool ( ) selected, click to select the left side of
the tall box. This ensures that the correct grid plane is selected in the Plane Switch-
ing Widget, since selecting content that is attached to the grid also selects the grid
plane that it is on.
Note
To learn more about symbols, see Lesson 13 , “ Using Symbols to Create a
Map . ”
2. Click the Symbols panel icon ( ) on the right side of the workspace to expand the
Symbols panel. Drag the symbol named “Orange Flower” from the Symbols panel
to the left of the tall box. Notice that the flower isn't in perspective yet.
