extrude3D

Syntax

member(whichTextCastmember).extrude3D(member(which3dCastmember))

Description

3D command; creates a new #extruder model resource in the 3D cast member

which3DCastmember from the text in whichTextCastmember.

Note that this is not the same as using the 3D

displayMode property of a text cast member.

To create a model using extrude3D:

1 Create a new #extruder model resource in a 3D cast member:

textResource = member("textMember").extrude3D(member\

("3DMember"))

Create a new model using the model resource created in step 1:

member("3DMember").newModel("myText", textResource)

Example

In this example, Logo is a text cast member and Scene is a 3D cast member. The first line creates

a model resource in Scene which is a 3D version of the text in Logo. The second line uses this

model resource to create a model named 3dLogo.

myTextModelResource = member("Logo").extrude3d(member("Scene"))

member("Scene").newModel("3dLogo", myTextModelResource)
