Placing an object on perspective grid top

[bfcreativenyc1]

Hi,

I would like to place an object on the top of the box in the attached image, yet the perspective grid doesn't seem to give that option. Is there a way? Thanks!

That box has not been built in the perspective grid of this file.

Correct, but can't you adjust the grid to fit something existing?

[Monika Gause]

Sure you can.

So what exactly is your problem?

I don't seem to have the option to place the object on the top of the box. Only the sides.

You know how to use the perspective grid?

Double click on the Perspective Grid Tool icon in the tools panel

and make sure Show Active  Plane Widget is selected,

then  click on the little widget itself to select a plane.

The widget might be hiding behind some other panel...
