Perspective to multi colored composed objects
In the attached SVG/screenshot you'll find three objects. The first is composed by multiple objects of the same color, combinated into a single one in order to apply perspective - which was succesful as seen below it. Now, the other two are composed by different colored objects and I want to apply perspective just as they are. However, that can't be done on multiple objects, and when combinating or blending all composing parts merge and turn the same color. Any solution? Please help. God bless you.
Hi Ocetalo,
Try grouping the objects (select them all -> Ctrl G) instead of combining their paths. I didn't figure this out right away. But if you group them they will keep their colours or pattern fills when you do the perspective transform.

Hi Richard
I understood only single objects can be applied perspective. I tried your suggestion with a two-object grouping and perspective was fine. Now with the third objects in my example, there was a perspective but it was far off model bound. Can that be fixed?

Hi Ocetalo,
I've done perspective transformations with a group of many objects (the ones we use for our screencast postings is a grouping composed sometimes of more than a hundred path objects). I do run into troubles if the transform polygon is wildly different from the original shape. I have not found any deciding factor to determine exactly why this happens.
Try something with a more subtle difference from the original shape to the transformed shape. I also find that sometimes ungrouping and then regrouping sometimes fixes the problem. Sometimes it goes like this for me when I'm creating my screencast posting - and this is with a group of a couple of hundred path objects:
1. Group path objects. 2. Select group, select perspective shape. 3. Effects -> Perspective. 4. Doesn't transform properly. 5. Hit undo, ungroup group object. 6. Regroup object and repeat steps 2 and 3.
I'm not sure why it gives me problems, but ungrouping and grouping seems to fix it more often than not. But you are definitely not limited to 2 or 3 objects in the group.
Note also that in 0.45, you select the perspective shape first and then the object (or group of path objects). In 0.46 you select in the opposite order (perspective shape last).
