: How can I transform patterns in Illustrator to simulate a perspective? I am using rectangles filled with patterns to create the walls of a room. I have transformed the rectangles, to simulate
I am using rectangles filled with patterns to create the walls of a room. I have transformed the rectangles, to simulate perspective, but the patterns do not reflect these transformations - they remain constant.
The method I am using:
I create a rectangle and then fill it with a pattern.
Then, I choose Object > Envelope Distort > Make with Mesh (1 row and 1
column).
Using the Free Transform tool, I click the corner and
hold down Ctrl+Alt+Shift while I
drag to create the perspective appearance.
As you can see in this picture, the patterns are not being transformed to simulate perspective.
I used to use this same method, in an earlier version of AI, but now It doesn't work. I am currently using Adobe Illustrator CC 2014 (trial).
I have also tried Effect 3d / rotate, but it takes time to work and isn't a good choice.

May be a bug. Works for me. You need to click the perspective distort to achieve this.
What I found worked best was to have your pattern filling a normal square, then place your perspective shape on top of that, select them both and go to:
Object> Envelope Distort > Make with Top Object
In addition to Scott answer , I checked Envelope options and ticked the box Distort Pattern fills
Tick the box in the Preferences to Transform Pattern Tiles
Then do what you are doing.
