[Adjustable] Isometric Grid for Illustrator | Out of **ONE** Single Line!

How to create the best isometric grid for Adobe Illustrator!
Isometric grid setups can be tidies and long, inaccurate or slowing down your computer. I created an isometric pattern that can easily be used on any document size, but I agree, it’s a bit long. So I tried to find a way to create an isometric grid that lightweight, easy and super fast to setup. So sit down and watch, you won’t regret a thing!

That was AMAZING! Great Isometric grid guide - looking forward to see more videos of your content

The best isometric grid tutorial ever

[@Vectortwist]

thanks :)

[@KoldCharpley]

Awesome, very clever!
A minor tweak i discovered by mistake:
In the second effect, choose 2 copies instead of 1, this way you won't need a third effect as it will rotate 60° twice (60+60=120).
Also, if you're like me, you might want a second grid for half-points. Duplicate the line and alter its effects: give it half the distance between copies (horizontal move) and double the amount of copies. differentiate between the two grids using line weight, color, opacity, etc.

[@Vectortwist]

thanks for the tip, I shall try that out :)

[@marcosteles6281]

You also can set to 2 copies on the second step of the transform effect and will no longer necessary create another one, it will make the rest of the effect. (:

Wow great explanation!!! Would you know how to insert the dot lines also as on the veritas pads ? thanks !!

[@Vectortwist]

Glad you liked it, not sure about the dot lines though. I’ll get back to you on that

[@bloodborne6]

Great video!
I have an interesting question that might help as well.
How can you make your grid follow the same angles as the
Effect
3D Extrude & Bevel Options.
Position: Isometric ?
I’ve been trying to figure it out for the last few hours but no luck! 👎🏼

[@Vectortwist]

Not sure what you mean, the grid I created follows the same angles as the 3D extrude. Maybe I am misunderstanding the question

[@fakhruddinkagzi1912]

I need help... When I transform it and set copies to 100 it only shows 7-8 copies. No matter I increase or decrease the no. of copies it shows only 7-8 copies. Plz help...Also, I have the scale stroke and effects off.

[@Vectortwist]

that's really strange, maybe it has to do with the size of your artboard or length of your line?

[@JamesCarneval]

This is not to invalidate your precious advice but maybe you could even make a video about it, i don't mind.
The easiest way to make an isometric pattern is to draw a triangle with the polygon tool, turn it 90°, make a pattern, tile type: brick by column, use the pattern and make a guide. that's all

[@Vectortwist]

Great suggestion! You are right, there are so many ways to create things!

[@chkmtn]

Thank you for your tutorial. I hear an Indian accent when you speak, although your photo shows your Caucasian genetic makeup. Were you born in India or lived there for a time? And your last name is German! You are a citizen of the world, obviously. Be that as it may, I enjoy hearing English in something other than my flat, American midwest accent.
