Transform about your 3D objects' axes instead of your pages' axes

by holding the Ctrl key down as you transform using the nodes.

You can also adjust the angle and elevation of each "active" light on the page by

dragging the light pointer to a position which simulates a light source.

After any transformation, the underlying base object remains

editable.

To add dimensionality:

1. Select an object and click the Instant 3D button on the

Attributes toolbar. The object immediately adopts 3D characteristics

with a red orbit circle displayed in the object's foreground.

2. Click a 3D effect category from the first drop-down menu on the 3D

context toolbar; the bar's options change dynamically according to the

category currently selected. See the PagePlus Help for more details.

Click Reset Defaults on the context toolbar to revert to the

object back to its initial transformation.

To switch off 3D effects:

• Click Remove 3D on the context toolbar. You can always click

the Attribute toolbar's Instant 3D button at any time later to reinstate

the effect.
