Adding 3-D Rotation Effects to a Shape


After you create a 3-D or even a 2-D shape, you can use 3-D rotation options to change the orientation and perspective of the shape. You can also create a 3-D rotation effect using one of the preset 3-D rotation styles, or you can use the 3-D rotation tools to create your own 3-D effect (New!). The settings control with the customization tools include the 3-D rotation (x, y, and z axis), text rotation, and object position (distance from ground).

Add a 3-D Rotation Effect to a Shape


Click the shape you want to apply a new or different shape effect.

Click the Format tab under Drawing Tools.

Click the Shape Effects button, and then point to 3-D Rotation.

The current effect appears highlighted in the gallery.

Point to an effect.

A live preview (New!) of the style appears in the current shape.

Click the effect you want from the gallery to apply it to the selected shape.

To remove the 3-D rotation effect, click the Shape Effects button, point to 3-D Rotation, and then click No Rotation.

Add a Custom 3-D Rotation Effect to a Shape


Click the shape you want to apply a new or different shape effect.

Click the Format tab under Drawing Tools.

Click the Shape Effects button, point to 3-D Rotation, and then click 3-D Options.

Specify the following custom options:

  • Rotation x and y. Change the orientation of the x (horizontal axis) and y (vertical axis). Use the arrow buttons to nudge the position left, right, up, and down.

  • Rotation z. Change the position higher or lower than the shape. Use the arrow buttons to nudge the position clockwise or counter-clockwise.

  • Rotation perspective. Change the field of view. Enter a number from 0 (parallel camera) to 120 (wide-angle camera). Use the arrow buttons to narrow or widen the view.

  • Text. Select the Keep text flat check box to prevent text in a shape from rotating (always stays on top).

  • Object position. Enter a distance from ground number to move the shape backward or forward in 3-D space.

All your changes are instantly applied to the shape.

To remove 3-D formatting and restore default setting, click Reset.

Click Close.
