Do any of the following: 

To  magnify or reduce the  preview image, select the  Zoom  tool  

in  the Vanishing  Point dialog box, and  click or  

drag in the preview image to zoom in; hold down Alt (Windows) or Option (Mac OS), and click or drag in the 
preview image to zoom out. You can also specify a magnification level in the Zoom text box at the bottom of the 
dialog box, or click the Zoom Out

 or the Zoom In

 buttons. 

To move the image in the preview window, select the Hand tool in the Vanishing Point dialog box, and drag in the 
preview image. Alternatively, hold down the spacebar with any tool selected, and drag in the preview image. 

To show or hide the grid and boundaries of a perspective plane, select or deselect Show Edges. 

To  adjust  the size of the  perspective plane  grid, select the  Edit  Plane  

or the  Create  Plane  

tool,  and then either  

enter a pixel value in the Grid Size text box or click the down arrow and move the slider. 

To temporarily zoom into the preview image, hold down the “x” key. This is especially helpful for placing the 
corner nodes when defining a plane, and for working on details. 

The bounding box and grid change colors to indicate the plane’s current condition. If your plane is invalid, move a 
corner node until the bounding box and grid are blue. 

Indicates a valid plane. Keep in mind that a valid plane doesn’t guarantee results with the proper perspective. 

You must make sure that the bounding box and grid accurately line up with geometric elements or a plane area in 
the image. 

Indicates an invalid  plane.  Vanishing Point  cannot  calculate the  plane’s aspect ratio. You  won’t be able to tear off  

a perpendicular plane from a red invalid plane. Although it’s possible to make edits in a (red) invalid plane, the results 
will not be oriented properly. 

Indicates an invalid plane. All the vanishing points of the plane cannot be resolved. Although it’s possible to 

tear off a perpendicular plane or make edits in a yellow invalid plane, the results will not be oriented properly. 

You can  paste an item from the  clipboard in Vanishing  Point.  The copied item can  be  from  the same document or a  
different  one.  Once  pasted  into  Vanishing Point, the  item  becomes a floating  selection that you  can scale, rotate,  move  
or clone. When the floating selection moves into a selected plane, it conforms to the plane’s perspective.
