Tool: 3D Objects

Click a second time on the 3D tool icon to select from various 3 dimensional geometric objects. Drag the selected tool on the canvas to determine the object's size. Note: 3D text is created a bit differently than other 3D objects. The 3D Text tool at the bottom of the list of tools has different controls than those shown below. Click here for an explanation of the 3D Text tool.

Once you have dragged out your object, use the Arrow Selector tool from the Tool Bar to select the object. You may drag the object to another location with the Arrow Selector.

When the 3D object is selected, additional icons will be displayed at the bottom of the editing window. Use the three box icons on the left side to rotate the object (note that you can slow the rotation by holding down the Alt key while clicking a rotate icon). The yellow folder icon allows you to choose an image to use as a texture for the object. Use the Candle Flame
tool from the Tool Bar to change the lighting of the selected object.
