My perspective grid vanishing point adjustment is missing.

I was using the perspective grid tool and all of a sudden the selector for my vanishing point dissappeared.
How do I get this back? I have the perspective selection tool selected too BTW.    
Thanks
This is what I have:
I'm missing this selector:

Jeff try this...
...Once you have your perspective grid showing, toggle between the two perspective tools as shown below.

  • Use of Perspective Grid (One Point)

    I'm new to Illustrator and finding my way around. I found one of the tutorial examples referencing this article on the use of a perspective grid to create a graphic:
    http://www.intraligi.com/project/adobe-illustrator-cs5-pre-release-programm.html
    Looking at page 4 and seeing how he has the grid set up, I'm unable to create this same grid. For one thing, when I go to View > Perspective Grid > Define Grid, under Grid Color & Opacity, the Right Grid is greyed out. Also, I can't get the horizontal grid lines to extend all the way to the vanishing point, like he's showing in the example.
    Can someone please tell me what I'm missing here and why I can't recreate the perspective grid shown?

    I think I got it now how he created the grid that he used. I believe what he did was use a 2 point Perspective Grid, and then moved the vanishing points so that they were (almost) together, creating a single point.
    I can create the same effect this way and that looks like how he did it.
    I don't think so, they just moved the grid easy enough to do with the grid tool
    Grab th circular end of the guide with the grid tool and drag.

  • Grid lines disappear in vanishing point

    I can't figure out why sometimes the gridlines will disappear in a plane in vanishing point.  Take the screenshot for instance.  I drew the bottom plane first and gridlines were there.  Then I did an apple-extend on the top grid which has lines.  But now when I click back in the bottom plane, the gridlines don't come back.  Sometimes my gridlines are also red, yellow, or blue and this seems to affect how I can alter them.  What is the pattern?

    Found this answer regarding the colors anyway:
    "Once you create your perspective plane, it should be represented by a blue grid. Sometimes, however, you may find the color of your grid isn't always be blue—it may be red or yellow. This is Photoshop's way of telling you that you've created an impossible perspective, and the grid needs correction. Yellow means you're close to a proper perspective; red means you're way off."

  • Memory Error when trying to paste art into PS CS4 vanishing point grid

    I get a memory error when trying to paste art into PS CS4 vanishing point grid.
    "Photoshop.exe application Error The instruction at 0x7755886b referenced memory at 0xffffffff. The memory could not be read. Click on OK to terminate the program"
    I have plenty RAM, HD space, and virtual RAM/Cache in PS prefs.
    Any suggestions?

    Try disabling the Aeros theme by selecting one of the Windows Classis Themes under desktop customization.  This seemed to fix the problem for me.

  • I really miss a true white point adjustment

    I've been trying to minimize the cases where I need to escape from Lightroom to Photoshop, but the lack of a true white point adjustment is frustrating.  About 10% of the time, after I've adjusted exposure and recovery to give me the best image it only reaches 85 to 95 percent of the maximum white value and I have to export the image to Photoshop to finish the job with Curves.  Since psd files take up about five times the space of raw files, this is really annoying, not to mention a waste of time.  Is there any way to duplicate the true linear range expansion that I can get with Photoshop,
    or is there a chance of a true white point adjustment being added to Lightroom (and camera raw, I suppose).

    I'm not trying to move it to the left, I want to move it into the forbidden zone to the right.  I'm trying to get a uniform stretch of the whole histogram, with all tones from black to white affected by the adjustment.  The Lightroom adjustments only allow me to adjust zones.  The Photoshop curves adjustment lets me move a white slider to the left until the top white values just clip.  The equivalent operation in Lightroom is to move the exposure slider to the right, but this compresses the white values and destroys some of the white details.  The only way I have been able to get what I want is to expand the white values by moving the exposure slider to the left until the white details pop out, then use Photoshop to uniformly stretch everything back to true white.

  • Perspective grid: some grids invisible - how to bring them back?

    I was drawing an image using 2-vanishing-point perspective grid when, at some point, for a reason unknown to me, 2 out of 3 grids dissapeared.
    Currently I have the left (blue) grid, but they right (orange) and bottom (green) grids are not there.
    My question is, how to bring them back, without resetting the whole grid?
    Thank you

    Or did you hide the grids by Alt-clicking the widget that moves the perspective planes?
    The latter is the case!
    I was copying objects perpendicularly, by Shift+Alt+Dragging the widget. I might have accidently Alt+clicked the widget in the process.
    Later on, in an attempt to solve the problem I thought I did everything I could with the widgets, but apparently I missed that.
    Thank you!

  • Perspective grid

    I don't use the perspective grid often, so sorry if this is a dumb question. I have adjusted the two point grid so that I have mre of an inside versus corner view. Say I create a shape on the red plane. I thought that I could use the perspective selection tool and the alt key to copy it in perspective, but it seems to make it larger when I go back in space and smaller when I come forward, rather than how it should be. If I draw the shape itself on the grid, it will draw correctly, but I thought that I should be able to copy in perspective as well. Am I doing somethin incorrectly? I can copy it in perspective going the other way, say like a several windows along a wall getting smaller, but not like the back of a table getting smaller. Any help or clue as to what I might be doing incorrectly would be appreciated.
    Thank you,
    Richard

    Yes! Thank you. I don't know where either how I missed that or where that was hidden, but I couldn't find that in help anywhere. Thank you again. 

  • Vanishing Point - Shape modification - Point selection

    Hello,
    As a beginner i'm learning day by day how to use photoshop.
    Among the functions i 'd like to handle with there's the vanishing point (in the filter menu).
    However i can't modify the angles of my selection to change the perspective grid.
    Take a look on this video at 03"57 (it is what i want to do):
    http://mattrunks.com/fr/formations/photoshop/outils-point-de-fuite
    Do i have to set something up before.
    Thank you.
    Fabien.

    Hi Alec,
    Above all thank you to try to help me out.
    I've just noticed your mail now and i still havent' fixed my problem since my first post
    Actually, i've exposed it to the technical support from Adobe and they didn't know how to fix it neither
    Sorry about my english, i'll try to explane my problem a little bit better.
    In fact, the vanishing point function doesn't really work in the filter menu.
    I can put some points on the picture but when it's done with the shape i wanted to draw it seems to be failed.
    At this moment i can't really modify the perspective the way i want with my mouse furthermore the color of the first grid stays yellow instead of switching bue.
    The second grid on the second plan is turning blue when i make an extrusion but i still can't change the perspective !!
    It makes me crazy because there are a lot of things that i can't do like adding a missing ground or texture with the stamp tool using the perspective guides.
    I hope you will understand my problem and that there will be some gold users to take me an helpful hand reading my desperate mail.
    Thank you,
    Fabien.

  • Can't Move Text Into Vanishing Point Plane

    For some reason, when I select text and attempt to paste it into a vanishing point plane, the selection ends up 200% longer than what it should be, and I can't move the text layer into the plane. Screenshot attached.

    After you paste the text, (or anything previously copied to the clipboard before entering Vanishing Point) into Vanishing Point, there is no reason why you can't use Free Transform to scale it back to your required size, and aspect ratio.  If the text or object is too big, and the FT handles are outside the VP Plane, just drag it down so you can see the upper handles, scale it down, and drag it back into position.
    Note: that when using FT Perspective on any object (I am talking about outside of VP) it tends to exaggerate the 'length' because that's how we would probably see the object in real life.  Perspective I just about the only time I actually right click and chose an option from within FT, because it is so easy and quick to Ctrl (Cmd) drag a corner or center handle.
    Unfortunately you only get the basic FT options of size and aspect ratio from within VP, which is a pity because you can't distort your object to apparently wrap onto a curved surface.  I added some FT warp to this text before applying it from within VP.  I suspect I am missing a trick or two with VP as I don't use it very often, so I'd love to hear from someone who really has it under control?

  • Struggling with vanishing point

    I am playing with different materials in a ren dering and the vanishing point tool seemed appropriate. The trouble though is that no matter how much fiffdling it doesn't "get" the persepctive I'm working in - when I pull off planes in the perpindicular they never correspond with the unde rlying perpedicular planes in the image, even though i know they're orthogonal. SHould i just ignore this and tweak it do that the perspective looks ok with each plane, or is there  a way to get ortho planes to line up with ortho planes in the image underneath...

    Never really seen this. The success of this is all about placing the points accurately. Also things such as wide angle lenses (used to shoot the original) can make vanishing point, which only works on a rigid 3D grid structure not work properly. Any geometric distortions caused by lenses can be 'corrected' with the 'Lens Correction' filter.
    A tip - using the Z key will allow a temporary zoom and allow you to place the grid points more accurately.

  • Perspective Grid: switch orientation on horizontal plane

    I have a tall rectangle I want to place on the horizontal plane of the perspective grid.
    Clicking that plane in the widget, or slecting the rectangle and hitting 2, results in the rectangle oriented towards the right vanishing point (or 2:00). I need it to point the other way, toward the left vanishing point (to 10:00).
    Is there some way to force an object to do that?
    Thanks for any help or thoughts on this.
    Mark

    Well, that's just really annoying. I spent 99 minutes and 31 seconds on the phone with tech support trying to get an answer to this with nothing to show for it.
    Thank you, Monika.

  • Perspective Grid from 3D Extrude Revolve Default

    I want to create a perspective grid based on a rectangle that has been 3D extruded and revolved using default settings. The 3D default setting doesn't have any perspective so that means the resulting 3D shape is in 2-point perspective, right? So I should use the 2-point perspective grid and try and draw out all the little widgets and controls to match the sides of the 3D rectangle? That's what I've tried and am having a heckuva time getting the sides to match. Maybe because I can't get those vanishing points out far enough? Or maybe I should be using the 3-point perspective grid to try and model the rectangle with that? I had more trouble with that, though. Not strong with illlustration / perspective, but determined to create a grid that matches! ... Can anyone do this?

    Yep. I quit futzing with the perspective grids and just created my own custom isometric grid and was able to accomplish what i set out to. Thanks.

  • Perspective grid gets elongated instead of foreshortened

    with the perspective grid in 2 point perspective, if I move a vanishing points outward, instead of staying foreshortened the grid gets wider making all objects I place on grid short and stout. this shouldn't be, vanishing sides should always be foreshortened, is there a way to fix this other than eyeballing it and drawing my elevations very skinny?
    I was hoping for somewhat accurate perspective.

    Placed image do not work interactively with the perspective grid, but there is another way
    embed image
    draw a rectangle to final size/position you want the image to be
    Select both rectangle and embedded image
    Object >> envelope distort >> make with top object
    For your second question
    Draw your square while perspective grid is on
    Switch to the perspective selection tool
    Now when you move your sqaure it will conform to the perspective

  • Perspective Grid in Illustrator

    I accidentally clicked on the Perspective Grid and now I cannot get it off my workspace. How do I get rid of it? What is this feature anyhow?!
    Thanks, Ben

    Funny how you find someone who is giving you good advice as scoldig you. Certainly if you did not have access to the help fles on lne and ou tried that and you usually use the help files I would have thought you would have mentioned it in your first post..
    Perhaps it was too much trouble.
    I am glad you were able to figure it out..
    BTW if the help files do not work nex time you can try doin a search on google.
    I find it hard to believe that a user that has been using Illustrator since 2007 does not one know wha the prespective grid is and two does not know to do a google search if the files fail. It really is hard to believe.
    This just a part of what a googke search will give you I would suggest that you ive it a try so you can get use to the idea thatthere are other users that have gone through a lot of trouble to post this information and it is a shame that there ae are many user IMO who let it go to waste because…well I don't know why.
    I know a fair amount about Illustratro and the other Adobe apps and when I need help I do like most users I use the help files and or do a search the user to user forum is best used for issues that might not be available that way or for a user who has tried but just missed something and needs to be pointed in the right direction.
    But I am glad youy were able to figure it out.\
    I will give you som information about the hiding and showing the perspective grid there is a keyboard shortcut/toggle for this as well. Itis easuily found out.

  • Vanishing Point issue - cs6

    Why does cs6 or the cs5 stop working when I use the vanishing point. i have a file showing an open dictionary. I am mapping the opened  page in this dictionary. The page has a curved profile. To this curved profile I would be pasting another seperate page (of the same size) from another file. My grid size is about 100. I am using the angle adjustment to help map the curved profile.

    Good day!
    Why does cs6 or the cs5 stop working when I use the vanishing point.
    What exactly do you mean?
    Is there a crash? If so someone else might be able to get relevant information from the crash report.
    Could you please post a screenshot or lores?
    Might a Warp on a Smart Object not also work? (Naturally this does not address the Vanishing Point issue itself.)
