The resulting number is the cube face measurement, hang on to this number for the next step. The resulting number is the height between grid intersections. Go back to the original measurement you used to space out your isometric grid lines, mine is 28 px. Grab your calculators! With a few simple measurements plugged into the formula below you can figure out the cube face measurement, and easily create 3D blocks using Illustrator’s 3D effects. If diagonal grid lines need lengthening, select a group of lines, ungroup, and change their length (all lines at once) in the Transform Panel. You now have an isometric grid with 3 groups of lines. Use the shortcut Command/Ctrl+D, to duplicate step 5. Select the group and double-click the Rotate tool. (I set my spacing to 28 px.)Äuplicate the line by holding Option/Alt as you press the right arrow key on your keyboard, and continue to cover the artboard with evenly spaced lines. In Preferences > General, set Keyboard Increment to your desired line spacing. Draw the first vertical line of your isometric grid with the Line Segment tool down the left edge of your artboard.
