Hi!

Is there a way to do a vertical shear using the Transformation panel?

All I seem to be able to do is perform horizontal shears:

Thank you!

Chris.

yes, it's possible

1. rotate your object 90 degrees (button next to shear)

2. shear 30 degrees horizontally

3. rotate -90 back to it's original position

Very long and counterproductive workaround, but it works! Thanks! 🤗 Hopefully Adobe will fix this nonsense in the near future. Have a nice one! Rock on!

For vertical Shear you can use top control panel instead of Transform panel

Object>Transform>Shear.

I know that; my question was: "Is there a way to do a vertical shear using the Transformation panel?"

You ought to be able to choose your shear axis; you can read on under Shear here,

Syntax 1,

Have you tried setting the angle to 90 degrees, to the left, at the exclamation mark in your screenshot?

yes, grab the Shear Tool and pull the selected object up or down
