I will give you a detailed analysis of the Illustrator software to share with you the tutorial on designing the exact hexagonal effect.
Tutorial sharing:
After Illustrator is started, press Ctrl + N to create a new file, and click M to select the rectangle tool. Click Shift to draw a square on the drawing board.
Ctrl + R: Open the ruler and drag a reference line from the horizontal ruler area. Right-click the canvas and close it if the locked reference line option is selected. We activated the reference line.
Tip: you can select Ctrl + Alt +; to switch to the lock reference line option.
V: Select the selection tool, select the generated reference line, and drag it up or down. Drag it to the desired location.
Select the reference line again, right-click it, and click release reference line from the drop-down menu. Release this reference line. You can also use the shortcut key Ctrl + Alt + 5 to achieve the same effect.
Why does the released reference line disappear? If you cannot find it, you can use the selection tool in the original position. Because the released reference line is not filled or alignment, you only need to add a black alignment to it and it will be displayed. At the same time, you will see that the original reference line is now a straight line that is infinitely stretched. What is this line segment used?
There are several ways to rotate an object. We use the transform plane version. Because we enter a value in the plane version, this method can achieve a precise rotation angle.
Select this line segment, activate the transform area, and enter 30 values in the rotation angle. After confirmation, the line segment is rotated successfully. Ctrl + C, and then Ctrl + V. Then we recreate them as reference lines. Right-click the canvas and you will see the production reference line options in the drop-down menu. You can also use the shortcut key Ctrl + 5 to achieve the same effect.
Rotate the previously generated square image [Shift] 45 degrees to form a diamond. At the same time, move the reference line we made and place them on the left and right vertices of the positive Diamond. [Ctrl + Alt +;] lock them.
To further determine whether they are aligned, [Ctrl + Y] switches to the profile chart, opens the intelligent reference line [Ctrl + U], zooms in the view, and views the intersection multiple times. [Ctrl + + + ], confirm.
In the subsequent operations, we will open the intelligent reference line Ctrl + U if you have already opened it. Don't close it. [A] use the direct selection tool to vertically drag the upper and lower points of the space to the intersection with the reference line.
Next, we will generate a cube. [Ctrl + C] The adjusted Diamond. [Ctrl + B] copy one. Use the set reference line and smart reference line to drag the copied diamond to the position of Figure 1, copy another one, move it to the position of figure 2, and create it as a reference line. At the same time, [Ctrl + 2] locks the initial diamond to ensure that it is not affected when we operate other diamond.
[A] use the direct selection tool. Drag the second left and bottom points of the diamond in the dot to the position that is perpendicular to the reference line. Create a new diamond, Figure 3 Figure 4
Change the color of the second diamond to a darker green color. At the same time, press Ctrl + C to copy the second diamond, press Ctrl + 2 to lock the second diamond, and press Ctrl + B to paste the copied third diamond at the second diamond location.
Tip: [Ctrl + V] Paste the copied image into the middle of the screen.
Ctrl + B: Paste the copied image to the original position.
Ctrl + F: Paste the copied image to the top.
The image is locked to avoid interfering with ongoing operations during the creation process. In particular, this kind of graphics with multiple points in the same position can easily choose other images or accidentally move other images, which is too subtle to operate, pay more attention to precise operations.
Release the locked Image. You can use the [Ctrl + Alt + 2] shortcut.
Finally, move the third diamond to the upper and left two points, and use the reference line to move to the specified position. Change the color of the third diamond. The cubes are created. We can switch to the contour mode to see if these points are cross-seed, so as to further achieve precise graphics.
All right, the above information is the detailed tutorial on designing precise cubes for the users of Illustrator's software, users have seen this, and I believe that you are now very clear about the drawing method, so everyone will go to follow the tutorial of the small series to draw the exact cubes themselves.
