Adding slight perspective to floor plans

I'm designing a building map. I've created the flat versions of each floor, but I'd like to give them a slight perspective effect as so:

This is an example of one of my floor plans (unfinished):

Any suggestions on what to do? I tried using the perspective grid tool, but it was a little too strong. I'm new to using it so maybe its possible to make it look like that?

Correct answer Ray Yorkshire

It's isometric perspective -Top view

You can make your own own  illustrator Actions  to do it , by following this video

Adobe Illustrator Isometric Action Tutorial - YouTube

or download the ones I made

Dropbox - Isometric.aia

Then select your floor plan and go to

Window  > Actions >

and in the top right, drop down menu of the Actions panel

choose Load Actions and navigate to where you made / or downloaded my  Isometric.aia actions

It will load them  to  your Actions panel , then select  and run Isometric,Top , for you plans

Simply...:

  1. Group your floorplan.
  2. Rotate it 45 degrees.
  3. Scale it vertically 57.74% (the sine of the "isometric angle", 35 degrees, 16 minutes).

That will make it equivalent to having drawn it isometrically.

    Really helpful in creating isometric building maps for multiple floors.
