Object with Clipping Mask - won't go on Perspective Plane

[LJ1995]

I'm a AI beginner, I have a heart with a shirt in it (the heart is also a clipping mask for the shirt), I'm trying to place it on my perspective plane. I can put text on my perspective plane fine, I can put the shirt and heart on the plane individually, but I can't put the whole layer (shirt in heart, plus the heart behind it) on the plane.

What am I doing wrong? Should I just try to do them individually and then manually line them up together?

it's just one vector object that won't go on the perspective plane... it's a bunch of vector shapes

here is the object, any idea what's wrong with it?

I used your file - the vest

It's not build correct - so this is the reason you have samoe problems

I've just converted it to simple form and it works perfectly.

• Try to - Select the vest and Choose Object  > Rasterize command
• Use RGB and 300 ppi resolution
• Select this bitmap image and use Image Trace to convert it to Vector shape - simple vesctor shape. - use 3 colors and use (Advanced settings) Ignore White command.
• Finally use Expand Command to convert to vector shape

this way it looks the same and works fine ion perspective grid

I'll send tou link to working and converted Vest file asap

I forgot to ask, why didn't it work... what was wrong with that vector that it needed to be redone?

It seems that a mesh objects cannot be attached to the Perspective Grid. Your vest is constructed from  several meshes.
