If you want-you can also simply choose a San Serif Font > Expand Appearance > 3D Extrude & Bevel > Isometric Right > Expand Appearance - From there you have solid dimensions and can work within surfaces.
I almost didn't watch this because it's so Tetris-ey and I don't EVER need to start that again. But I'm so glad I did. There's so much on Illustrator I still don't know, and it's hard to know where to learn without watching a beginners tute drone on about the pen tool when I just want to know one thing about patterns or compound paths or whatever. This also taught me so much about lettering. Three squares by five! Perfect! I want to print this isometric grid just to use as a lettering guide with pencil. Thanks a bunch for directing us to the source. God bless. 👍🏼👏🏽
+Rebekah Dorris I think I've been through a load of tutorials myself that go on for ages that I wanted mine to be a bit more to the point and easy to follow. Glad you found it useful.
I was just searching for a tute on creating isometric people, Minecraft style, and happened upon this again! So helpful although, as usual, yours happens more smoothly than mine! Still not sure how to do this without creating several layers, but I'm going to replay again and again till I get it. So cool how you post these and people need them way down the road :)
Love your easy to follow tutorials! Could you recommend some vids or info that show how to work with those half tones in illustrator / photoshop for prints for example?
Even though this can be achieved with diff techniques, I think this is so much BRAIN STIMULATINGand provoking creative thought process that I think it OPENS UP your Imagination 10fold when doing it through this process***** LOVE IT **
I don't believe yet how you do not have more subscribers. Anyway , i love this tutorial . Was so interedting and usefull! Only one question : How does "Expand" works?
One question: Is there a way to make it the pen tool automatically constrain to 30 degrees rather than only 90 or 45? The way you're doing it looks so simple, but I keep missing the diagonal lines because hitting shift only works for the vertical lines.

Good tip Eleazar!
Hi Ian, you can also change the layer properties and set it to 'template'. That reduces the opacity and locks the layer as well.
Your tutorials are so helpful! Much appreciated! Keep up the great work.
Thanks. Really appriciate it!

Wasn't expecting to learn anything new, but I watched it anyway and ended up learning two new things.
+Jobe Jones love hearing that!
Great tutorial Ian. Thanks!

Hi mate, what mike, screenrecorder, and video camera are you using?
I use Screenflow, Zoom h1n and Sony A6500
Awesome, thanks.
Glad you like it.
Thank you so much for helping in learning Isometric Typing. I'm just stuck on the letter "R" if you can please help me!
If you do a search on Pinterest or Google for Isometric alphabet you'll see some examples of the letters you're stuck with.
You prefer to redraw (draw over) the blocks to fill with the dot pattern, rather than just filling the existing block?
Not all of the block paths are closed up, some were just lines. Just my process of doing things!
WHEN I HIT MAKE COMPOUND PATH IT DISTORTS MY TYPE. I HAVE FOLLOWED THIS TUTORIAL TO THE T!!! am I missing something small.
Can you link to a screenshot of what happens?
I was having the same trouble, I'm sure you are clicking on the wrong pathfinder option, at least that was my problem.
how can I write an "r"
