Hi, I need some help in illustrator. i have tall rectangle with a brick texture inserted into it. I want to rotate the pattern only (not the box) so that it alines with the angle and looks like a brick wall from a side view. However, it won't let me rotate the pattern only as you see below in the rotate panel. Why and how do i solve it?
I inserted the brick texture by going to effect, texture, texturizer, then choosing brick from the drop down
The brick pattern you have applied is an effect (fx Texturizer, which can be seen in the Properties panel). In order to control its behavior you'll need to use additional effects, applied through the Appearance panel. You can open the Appearance panel by clicking the three dots below Appearance in the Properties panel, or go to Window > Appearance. In order to understand what has to happen there, you need to spend time reading about it in the Help files.
In essence, this is what you need, substituting whatever angle you need for my +/-15°. The order in which these effects appear is important.
