Lighting: opens an extended toolbar that lets you specify the

direction and intensity of light.

Surface: choose between Wire frame (useful when manipulating

the object), Matt, Plastic or Metal.

3D Color: select the color of the object thickness.

Most of the Fontwork shapes (see “Using

Fontwork” on page 127) have 3D properties

and can be manipulated with the 3D-Settings

toolbar.

Note that when rotating a 3D object, in

addition to the corner red handles, four

handles on the sides of the frame become

available.

Figure 82 is an example of a customized 3D

object.

Converting an object to a different type

You can convert an object into a different type. Right-click on the

object and select Convert to display a menu containing the following

options:

• To Curve: converts the selected object to a Bézier curve. Choose

Edit Points to edit the Bézier curve.

• To Polygon: converts the selected object to a polygon. After the

conversion choose Edit Points to edit the shape. A polygon always

consists of straight segments.

• To Contour: for basic shapes, this is equivalent to converting to

polygon. For more complex shapes (or for text objects) this

conversion creates a group of polygons that you can then

manipulate by pressing F3 to enter the group.

• Convert to 3D: converts the selected object to a three-

dimensional (3D) object.

• Convert to 3D Rotation Object: creates a three-dimensional

shape by rotating the selected object around its vertical axis.

• To Bitmap: converts the selected object to a bitmap.

• To metafile: converts the selected object to Windows Metafile

Format (WMF), containing both bitmap and vector graphic data.
