    Awesome tut! there's always something new to learn!
  • @DaanishArif
    For quick reference, here is how the grid is set up at the start of the project: . grid: 1000 x 1000 pixels and 100 x 100 dividers . transform > more options . unlinked . height: 86.602% . shear: -30 . rotate: 30 . add a stroke color . scale it to fill the artboard area You can now lock this layer and continue working on any isometric design!

    Dansky you so clever they are some tricks that you are using makes life easy for me I always do them manually and it's so hard but I can now save time with your tricks thank you for the tutorial
  • @Muhammad-fs8oo
    Awesome! Thank you. Is there a tutorial about making a brick pattern on an isometric wall?
  • its priceless. the slickness and the passion of the devs. priceless. what is cheaper and better than soft? Piracy is NOT the answer if you
  • Followed along with this creation. And it was really fun to give it a go :). I also realized you can use the curvature tool to do the round corners of text, as long as you lock the selection layers of the surrounding text and the letter you are creating the shadow for. All in all, it does take a bit of precision to match the curve but, that's why the direction selection tool exists too :p.
