Simply press Control + J on your keyboard to repeat the last process, then press it a bunch more times to create many more copies: Pressing Control + J repeatedly will allow you to extrude the text, giving it a 3D look.Ĭreate as many copies necessary to create the depth you’re going for. Thankfully, we won’t have to do this manually. Now we’re going to repeat this last action a bunch of times. It should only be a few pixels at the most. Make sure to move it up ever-so-slightly - maybe a few pixels: Note the spacing between both copies of the text. Hold Shift on the keyboard to lock it onto the vertical axis.
Click and drag the text upwards vertically.Now, create a copy of your text and position it slightly above the original. Zoom in on your text really close to get a closeup view of it, preferably in one of the corners: This next step will be easier if the area you zoom in on contains a sharp corner, like in the letter I of this example.

The isometric menu makes it easy to create isometric text with Affinity Designer because it allows you to change the position and orientation of your text at any time, which is an enormous time saver. This will place your text on the isometric plane: How your isometric text looks once applied to the isometric grid. Then, in the Current Plane section, select Top and then click the Fit To Plane button below it. It also allows you to change the position and orientation of your select object, relative to the grid. To do so, tick the box that reads Create Plane Set to open the Isometric menu: The Isometric Menu allows you to place objects on isometric planes.

Both sections are highlighted in red.Īn isometric grid will now appear on your artboard: Once applied, an isometric grid should be visible on your artboard. Choose the isometric option from the dropdown, then turn on the visibility of the grid. Then, tick the box at the top of the menu that reads Show Grid.
