skew works for shallow angles, but when you get to a true perspective view, (where the top of a square is tapered on both sides, you need a 4x4 transform to create the effect. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Perspective_transform svg uses a 2 x 3 matrix, so the perspective is not directly available (that I know of) but you could use javascript to trandform 2d svg objects to a 3d surface, and back to the 2d screen view, with perspective, where object further from the viewer are smaller.

I've had some success using the skewX commands to make a plausible image when the vanishing point is off to the right or left. I'm stumped when the vanishing point is dead on center...Ideally I'd like to be able to skew the left half of my floor group one direction and the right half the other. Thanks in advance for the suggestions & help!
