3D Extrude and Bevel, Isometric vertical paths not vertical

While using the 3D extrude and bevel tool, specifically the isometric preset from the position drop down menu. I am noticing that when I expand  the shape (in this case a perfect cube), the vertical paths are not exactly perfect, and are not truly vertical, but off slightly. Is this something that can be fixed or adjusted in the settings, or is this how the tool works?

Since isometric drawing means just skewing shapes around...
Isometric drawing is far more than "just skewing shapes around."
in most cases drawing such stuff conventionally using normal blends or angled gradient fills is much more efficient...
Depends entirely upon what you're drawing. Many subjects are more expedient to draw/shade with 3D Effect than to construct manually.

  • Why do I get an error message when trying to Extrude and Bevel my image?

    I am making a logo for a friend and he wants something similar to the Stark House symbol. (The Direwolf) but as a dragon instead. I used the pen tool to make the shape, and now I want to fill it in and make it more 3D. I can't fill it in properly and my image gets an error message when I try to Extrude and Bevel. Why is this?

    error message,
    Is the path/shape closed?
    Selecting it and Ctrl/Cmd+J should close it if not, then you may try again.
    You may also have a look in the Document Infor palette with Objects ticked in the flyout and the path selected.

  • How to I get a mirror image of a 3D extrude and Bevel image?

    I created a ribbon using the extrude and bevel effect and then mapping it with a custom symbol. I copied the image and then tried to get a matching image on the flipside to mirror it but cannot seem to figure it out. Is there a way to somehow flip the orientation of the image? I tried using transform and then reflect and it does not do anything. I tried to do it manually in mapping and flipping the box upside down and in reverse but it just doesn't seem result in the a reflective image. Any ideas on this? Attached are the two images I am trying to get to reflect each other. Thanks

    It works so it is you who have perhaps a blind spot you have to select reflect X and move the object horizontally just look at my settings and the video.
    If you do not see a difference than what I have done and what Scott has suggested than what you actually did then he problem is something entirely different.
    Here is a video you can go wrong if you follow it.

  • Applying live paint to extruded and beveled overlapping objects

    I have a celtic design that has sections I want to overlap, but I have extruded and beveled it to make it look more realistically metallic.  I tried expanding its appearance before making live paint, but "live paint make" option remains faded out on the menu... what can I do to live paint this object without losing the 3d look of it?  If I outline the strokes first, and then make live paint... it loses all its extrusion and beveling.  HELP!

    oooh  I figured out a way... it's a bit tedious, but it works!!!
    I ungrouped, and put copies of two of the components I want to overlap on a new layer, in place...
    then I make a clipping mask of the current overlapped areas...
    this clipped mask then sits on top of the underlying section that was not layered right and now brings the bottom object to the top!
    I now have to do this with every overlap where I want to bring the bottom object to the top... but it's worth it for the awesome effect!
    Hope this helps someone else out!

  • Extrude and bevel banding... how do you make the gradient smooth?

    Hi,
    I've got a shape that I want to make 3D using extrude and bevel tool but despite making the blend steps the highest possible amount, I still have banding. I'm using CS6. And there's no gradient on the flat image (it began as white). Any ideas?

    OMG! Just tried Object>Path>Simplify and it worked! This is the result which I am much happier with:

  • Error in Perspective ( 3D effect extrude and bevel)

    Hello,
    When I open the Illustrator CC 2014, make an object and put the 3D effect extrude and bevel and increase the perspective to the maximum (160) the object undergoes deformation.
    Why does this happen?

      this has 120 perspective
      and this has 160 perspective

  • Maintaining extrude and bevel effect

    I am currently designing a logo with the extrude and bevel effect. It is fine at full size, but when I copy and paste it and scale it down for another file--a.e. a business card--the effect is lost.
    Why is this happening? Do you have to apply the effect seperately when the object is rescaled?

    This is another option of scaling effects but it slows down the computer when it comes to more than one applied effects. That's why I told him to expand the effect.  Of course when expanding he can't edit effect's properties.

  • Extrude and bevel darkens original colors

    I am designing a logo using the Extrude and Bevel effect for some depth. When applied--using the Plastic Shading option--it darkens the original colors.
    Is there a way around this to maintain the hue in the original color.

    If you still want to use 3D Extrude & Bevel, or use it to refer to while building it from scratch, click on the effect in the Appearance panel, click on More Options, go to the Shading Color menu and set a custom color. Default is black (middle), I've set it to white (right).

  • Cut and paste text on path not printing

    Hi all,
    i just tried to cut an object with text on a path from one Indesign Document and paste it into another. On screen everything looked fine but once I tried to print the file the text was not present. The same happens when I try to export to PDF.
    When I convert the type to outlines everything looks the same (on screen) but prints fine. Any Ideas what is wrong?
    regards,
    chris

    Perhaps you could build a copy to clipboard link that strings
    together all of the pieces and pastes the text to the clipboard?
    There is an example on the Flex Style Explorer
    Export All CSS (lower left of the screen)

  • Text wrap on Extrude and Bevel?

    Hello everyone! = )
    I am trying to follow this tutorial: http://design.tutsplus.com/tutorials/create-a-3d-newspaper-text-effect-in-adobe-illustrato r--vector-5455. Everything is good until I reach step 11.The symbol "front", "back" etc.. doesn't appear. I only get the usual: Cube, grimes and so on. I can't seem to wrap my text around the font. Please help me Thank you so much! 

    You need to create those symbols. Somewhere in that tutorial there need to a step that tells you how to do it.

  • "Audio Record Path Not Found" error and new details

    I've been having problems opening up older GarageBand files I've created and trying to add new content. When I try to record on an existing track, or in a new track, I get the error: "Audio Record Path not Found! Please enter it in the following dialog." (and there's no following dialog). I've tried to save the file as an archive, which has worked in the past, but doesn't work any longer. I'm using a MacBook Pro Core 2 Duo 15"
    As a test, I installed iLife 06 on my older (PowerPC-based) Mac Mini. On that computer, I'm able to open the files, and record onto an existing track. None of my recording equipment is attached to this machine, however. If I save an archive and move it to my macBook Pro, I'm still not able to add recordings to it.
    I tried reintalling GarageBand on my MBP, but I still get the same error. I've also deleted the preference files from Library > Preferences. (the two com.apple.garageband... files), and still no luck. It doesn't sound like the audio files themsleves are corrupted since I can open them on the Mini, so it's likely GarageBand. What else can I delete to make it a pristine installation?
    I don't want to use my Mac Mini for recording, as it's too slow for my editing needs, but if I can't open the files on my MacBook Pro, I'll have to re-record them.
    Anyone have any ideas I can try?

    Excellent suggestion! I actually left the files on the external USB drive on which I store them, and accessed them from my MacBook Pro (instead of moving the files to the MacBook Pro), and sure enough, I'm able to edit and add to the files!
    I still don't know why I can't access them locally on the MBP, but this workaround is certainly acceptible for my needs!
    Thanks out to everyone who helped on this thread!

  • Iphone 5 rotates between vertical and horizontal modes, but does not flip vertically.

    New Iphone 5 rotates between vertical and horizontal modes, but does not flip vertically.

    Hey Oprion,
    Thanks for the question and congrats on your new iPhone 5c. The orientation of your iPhone will depend on the application you are using. For example, most of the built in applications only support the three main orientations (Horizontal, Vertical, Horizontal), whereas the Voice Memo’s application will operate “upside down” for easier access to the microphone.

  • What in inkchecker and why is its launch path not accessible?

    I've just started getting these error messages in my console every time I use the system print command. (It happens as soon as I click on print and the print dialog box appears - before I make any choices of print/preveiw, etc). It seems to just have started for no reason I can think of. I've been using 10.4.7 on my PPC G4 Mini, thinking of going to 10.9 but worried this might mess up my printing.
    I have an HP2710 that has given me very little trouble (other than install over wireless network). I have one "printer" set up for the gimp printer drivers and one for the HP drivers.
    I HAVE been able to print, but I'm concerned about the error messages.

    I can find no meaninful references to "inkchecker" anywhere - is it part of apple system software - could this be a corrupted file?
    Thanks for any help, comments, suggestions, etc.

    I have upgraded to 10.4.9 and this message has gone away. Wasn't able to figure out if it was coming from HP or gimp software.
    I've done an "archive and install" which seems to have not carried over my printing setup (need the HP software for the All-in-One to be able to use the Scan, Fax, Memory Module), so I have the printer installed through Bonjour. Who knows -- Maybe it will start again when I get around to re-installing the HP AIO drivers?
    I'm going to mark this as answered.
