Paint on the grid plane of the perspective view

When you paint on the grid of the perspective view, the stroke lies on that plane.

To paint on the grid plane of the perspective view

1. Select Paint Effects > Paint on Paintable Objects.
2. Ensure there are no paintable objects in the scene. To do this, in the scene view, deselect all objects by clicking anywhere on the scene that is not an object, then select Paint Effects > Make Paintable.
3. In the Visor (Paint Effects > Get Brush), or on a shelf, click the brush preset you want to paint with.
4. Modify stroke settings, if necessary (Paint Effects > Paint Effects Tool > ). For information on modifying stroke settings, see Define default stroke settings.
5. Modify brush attributes, if necessary (Paint Effects > Template Brush Settings, or use the Ctrl-b (Linux and Windows) or Control-b (Mac OS X) hotkey combination. For information on modifying brush attributes, see Define template brush settings.
   Tip

   You can use hotkeys on the canvas to interactively change the Global Scale (set ModifyUpperRadius, default hotkey, b), the Brush Width only (set ModifyLowerRadius), and Stroke Offset (set ModifyDisplacement, default hotkey, m) under Brush Tools in the Hotkey Editor. For information on other Paint Effects hotkeys, see Use default Paint Effects hotkeys.

6. In either the scene view or the scene painting view, drag across the plane.

   For information on the scene painting view, see Render strokes as you paint. For information on working in the scene painting view, see Automatically paint multiple strokes on a surface.
