      Thanks for your tutorial file and the insights on how to do Isometric in
      VS. As I saw your method how to move and rotate circles/ellipses in
      Isometric is really easy to do.

      There are unfortunately a few small problems when I use the file into VS.
      Works so far, but one font is missed / can't be displayed and the examples
      with the noise effect may are not displayed correctly I think.

      Here some Pictures

        Sorry for the font, I used Arial unicode and Arial rounded.
        I'm quite surprised about the gradient (less about the noise). It's strange that a native VS file cannot be read easily on another computer. That's why I skipped the PDF. I will check my preferences... (edit: if it make a difference, my file is CMYK)
        Same document with embedded color profile
        Here's how it should look :

          No problem, I also wonder about the font, I have Arial (actually a standard
          font on Windows) installed, but not the Unicode version, which seems to be a
          little different. I think it also contains special characters for other languages.

          I also wonders about the Effects.

          Thanks for the bitmap version which works fine, naturally 🙂

            Want to show a little trick I once figured out in Affinity Designer
            (which has the great Isometric Studio) while playing with Symbols
            in Isometric Studio.

            Something similar also works in VS. Might be useful for complicated
            Isometric shapes in VS. I use Clones in VS for that.

            Here is the video:

              Had also tried to recreate something like the Isometric Studio with the tools of VS.
              ( Transform Cages and Pick Shape Effect ). But that didn't work so well with complicated shapes
              and different sizes.

                Using a clone is a very good idea. Very useful, thanks. 😃

                    @Devil-Dinosaur Thanks for the great tips sheet - I was wondering how to deal with ellipses (and now I know!) 😀

                    @Subpath Thanks for the clone trick. You never know when these things will come in handy!

                    Ellipses!

                        You could also use clipping in Clones.
                        Recommend to set the "Isolation Opacity"
                        in View > Display > Display Options lower
                        for a better view.

                        And the clipping object with "no fill"
                        offers some further possibilities.
