How to Delete Perspective Grid in Illustrator
If you’re working on a project in Adobe Illustrator and have accidentally added a perspective grid, you might be wondering how to remove it. The perspective grid can be a helpful tool for creating accurate 3D shapes, but it can also be distracting or get in the way when you’re designing. In this article, we’ll guide you through the simple steps to delete the perspective grid in Illustrator.
First, it’s important to note that the perspective grid is part of the artboard’s perspective settings. To delete the perspective grid, you’ll need to adjust these settings. Here’s how to do it:
1. Open your Illustrator document and select the artboard that contains the perspective grid you want to delete.
2. With the artboard selected, click on the “3D” button in the toolbar at the top of the screen. This will open the 3D panel.
3. In the 3D panel, click on the “Artboard” tab. This will display the artboard’s perspective settings.
4. Look for the “Delete Perspective Grid” button, which is typically located at the bottom of the 3D panel. Click on this button to delete the perspective grid.
5. Illustrator will prompt you to confirm the deletion. Click “OK” to proceed.
6. Once the perspective grid is deleted, you should see the artboard return to its original flat state.
If you’re still seeing the perspective grid after following these steps, it’s possible that the perspective settings are still active. To ensure that the perspective grid is completely removed, follow these additional steps:
1. With the artboard selected, go to the “Window” menu and choose “Artboards.”
2. In the Artboards panel, click on the artboard to select it.
3. Look for the “Perspective” dropdown menu. If it’s set to “3D,” change it to “Flat.”
4. Close the Artboards panel and return to your document. The perspective grid should now be completely removed.
Deleting the perspective grid in Illustrator is a straightforward process that can be done in just a few steps. By following the instructions outlined in this article, you’ll be able to quickly and easily remove the perspective grid and return to your design work without any distractions.
