IBM Lotus Symphony


Convert to 3D

Converts the selected object to a three-dimensional (3D) object.

To access this command...

Open the context menu of a selected object and choose Convert - To 3D

The selected object is first converted to a contour, and then to a 3D object.

If you select two or more objects and convert them to 3D, the result is a 3D group that acts as a single object. You can edit the individual objects in the group by choosing Layout > Group > Enter Group. Choose Layout > Group > Exit Group when you are finished.

Note Icon Converting a group of objects to 3D does not change the stacking order of the individual objects.
Tip Icon Press F3 to quickly enter a group and Ctrl+F3 to leave the group.

You can also convert bitmap images and vector graphics, including clipart, to 3D objects. Lotus® Symphony™ treats bitmaps as rectangles and vector graphics as a group of polygons when converting to 3D.

Even drawing objects that contain text can be converted.

If you want, you can also apply a 3D Effect to the converted object.
