Customizing a Perspective Grid
If you create your own perspective grid, you save it as a preset (New!) for use later. You can create a perspective grid by using the Define Grid command to set exacting measurements and options or by manually adjusting an existing grid, and then saving it as a preset, which you can edit at any time. When you create or work with an existing perspective grid, you can set grid options (New!) to show or hide the active plane widget, change the widget position, and specify which points you want to use to temporarily hide the active plane with the Shift key.
Set Perspective Grid Options
Double-lick the Perspective Grid tool on the Tools panel.
Select the Show Active Plane Widget check box to display it.
Click the Widget Position list arrow, and then select a position.
Select the Anchor Point Of Perspective Artwork or the Intersection Of Gridlines check boxes to specify the points where you want to temporarily hide the active plane with the Shift key.
Click OK.
