Draw offers two different types of 3D objects: 3D bodies and 3D shapes. Depending on which type you choose, there are different possibilities for further editing of the object (rotation, illumination, perspective). 3D shapes are simpler to set up and edit than 3D bodies, but 3D bodies currently allow for more customization. Creating 3D bodies You can produce 3D bodies in three ways: extrusion, body rotation, and using ready made objects. In this chapter, these methods are called Variation 1, 2, and 3. Variation 1: Extrusion First, draw one of the common Draw objects, for example a square/rectangle, circle/ellipse or a text box using the or icons on the Drawing toolbar. Next, choose Modify > Convert > To 3D (or right-click on the object and choose Convert > To 3D, or click the icon) to produce a 3D object from the 2D surface. The icon is not usually visible on the Drawing toolbar. To make it visible, select Visible Buttons from the toolbar menu at the right-hand end of the toolbar and click on the icon to make it visible. Extruding 3D objects from 2D surfaces The procedure by which parallel surfaces are moved to create a 3D object is known as extrusion. In this case the 2D surface is moved forwards 'out of' the drawing level. At the same time the object is slightly tilted and central projection turned on so that one can better recognize the object. Draw uses a default value for the extrusion (the body depth) based on the size of the 2D object. The value can be changed after the extrusion; see. Variation 2: Body rotation Choose a common drawing object, for example a (non-black) line. Then change this into a rotation body. Draw provides two methods to do this. Click the icon in the Drawing toolbar (this icon is also usually not visible) or choose Modify > Convert > To 3D Rotation object. With this rotation method, the axis of rotation coincides with the left edge of the enclosing selection rectangle, through the green rectangle handles. ' ' ' The 3D Objects toolbar' ' ' If you add the icon to the Drawing toolbar, the 3D Object bar will be available as a pulldown menu or as a floating toolbar. After choosing the type of object, left-click on the starting point and drag the mouse diagonally until the outline of the object is the size you want. After releasing the mouse button, the 3D object appears.
