Oh, I failed to see and thus consider `perspective`, but it sounds more like a real 3D feature, i.e. produce this: [](https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Blue_house_perspective_projection.png) You are right that the transforms would not be enough to make a proper 3D object (other than cuboids) out of 2D tiles. The _blue house_ graphics from Wikipedia are intended to visualize the differences of the various methods, not to suggest this was actually possible to achieve. I was only (or should have only be) thinking about 2D transformations of 2D boxes into a 3D space projected onto the 2D surface. My actual use case was an transformed CSS Grid that should align with isometric bitmaps. I think that would be in scope of `transform` because the projections from three (or, with transparency, six) perpendicular views are indeed achievable with its level 1 capabilities – some may also require `translate` and proper `transform-origin`. Like I said, I have not yet thought this through completely. It could well belong elsewhere. Possibly, projections belong in two places: 1. 2D to 2D `transform` 2. 3D to 2D `projection` or `perspective` -- GitHub Notification of comment by Crissov Please view or discuss this issue at https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts/issues/944#issuecomment-487851512 using your GitHub account
