Create a Reusable Isometric Grid Pattern in Illustrator 

UPDATED TUTORIAL (MUCH EASIER): ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE--c5ljJgk7j8.html

For the first time in my life, I saw something so difficult so easily. In one word, extraordinary, incomparable. Thank you Master

Nice tutorial. Some things where I got stuck that might help others: - make sure the stroke is aligned to center (not inside or outside so corners align correctly with the lines) - make sure the hexagon you create does not have a fill color, otherwise at the end when you expand and ungroup the pattern there will be some lines missing when you delete the extra rectangles - When I set the width of the pattern to be the size of the hexagon it was almost perfect, just slightly off. Then I realized I needed to subtract the stroke size (.125px) from the width and then it aligned perfectly. For setting the height of the pattern instead of doing all the math described in the video I just measured it with a rectangle (made sure it intersected) and then subtracted the stroke size from the value and it aligned perfectly.

Great tutorial! But I had an issue when deleting all the clipping masks in the final stage, each second line of pattern was filled with hexagons without lines in it. To solve this choose any hexagon, then go Select - Same - Fill color and delete the fill color. Done!

I went an easier way. Use the handle of the pattern bounding box to resize the box with the Pattern tile tool. It snaps to the edges of the pattern and place the patterns precisely next to each other in seconds. But I had never used the pattern tool in such way so I learned a lot from your video :D Thanks a lot

Incredible is a very small word for your work and amazing is a very small word for saying thank you for you being sharing such valuable knowledge among us. I wish you eternal health and prosperity for your kind act ma'am!

New and improved ISOMETRIC GRID for Illustrator, FAST & EASY made out of one single line: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-w2ZmeG2egds.html

This is such a cumbersome method, it can be done way easier with the rectangular grid.

Wow!!! Love this 😍 Tutorial was easy to follow but gotta make sure that everything is the same as to what she's done. I figured out I had boxes ticked on some places while hers weren't (if that make sense) 😅

Thank you so much! I needed this for school when the teacher forgot to hit record for his online class. It helped a lot!

hi there. I have a question. Can I save a grid? As in, how we save the pattern or do i have to expand and repeat the last few steps every time I need the grid?

I'm a simple woman and I simply draw a new rectangle from top to bottom to know the exact measurements and skip all the calculus because I'm dumb.

Thank you

Hassele Free Voice over and Tutorial also, greets from Saravanan INDIA, where you are from ?

this tutorial is very useful. I successfully recreated the whole process but how do I save the Guide Layout?

Cool :)

Freaking A M A Z I N G !

Thank you, very useful lesson

One doubt, each and every time do I have to make my pattern as guide? or any way to save this guide?

3:13 I have a problem here where I can't stop the line, it just makes another thing for me to put down again but I only want a line like you had in your video. It only stops once I make a full shape. Help!

Hi, after I have created the grid my AI started to lag so hard. My screen barely moves and flashes when I try to move. Is there any tip to help this?

Mine came out looking really strange at the step at 14:20 I have one line of cubes then a line of hexagons and it repeats

will the guide be saved afterwards?

shares download to pattern pls

I cant delete other hexagons outside the drawing...can someone help me..tnx

Why does my PC get stuck when I click on Make Guide?

when i click on one of my points on the hexagon, that point dissapears and forms another shape... why?

How to draw isometric grid

this is still so confusing, i have overlaps of two hexagons in the whole isometric pattern

When I turned my grid into guides, it made my entire illustrator so fucking laggy. Any fix to this?

when i deleted those objects in 13:59 i get an empty polygon of the 2 orginal ones, in the pattern

Doesn’t let me Expand now?

Important: Make shure that the "Align to Pixel Grid" Its not checked

Thumbs down, this is the worst, most insane way to do this.

thank you for this tutorial, but i just feel like you were too dragging, its too slow for my short attention span 😢

Great Video, thank you!
