Am I the only one who has a very difficult time using the perspective grid in Fresco?

Report · Oct 29, 2023

The perspective grid in Fresco feels extraordinarily clunky, impractical and difficult to use. For any realistic perspective, I wind up having to try and get the vanishing points offscreen, but then can't get to them to reposition them because they're offscreen beyond the minimum zoom level. And, beyond that, trying to pan around while editing the perspective grid just launches the grid in any number of random directions with absolutely no correlation to the direction I move my cursor or fingers -- it just spins all over the place in seemingly random directions. (I just messed with it more and figured out that it's got the X and Y axes crossed -- moving vertically pans horizontally and the like. It's extremely confusing to use at any working pace and I'm almost certain this is a bug.)

I was expecting something a lot more like Illustrator's PG and I just get too frustrated to ever make use of the one in Fresco. I can't even get it positioned to begin with. Is there something wrong with its implementation or am I just not using it right?

I've attached a screen recording using my mouse so that you can see the cursor -- it moves in one axis of motion while the opposite axis responds in Fresco. (I'm assuming it's a bug in the programming.)

On another note, because you have to pan the controls off canvas in order to get shallow or "almost-head-on" perspectives, it gets clunky to use in that regard.
