Creating a 3d object on Open Office Draw

    You can create a 3D image from just about anything in Open Office Draw.  For example:  Make a text box and type a letter.  Then go to Modify/convert/to 3D rotation object...

 

and you end up with something like this.

 

You can also follow the path Modify/convert/ to 3D and you'll end up with beveled edges around your letter or drawing giving it a raised look.

You can convert a freehand drawing too.  Just go to the bottom tool bar and select freehand drawing tool; It looks like a pencil on a curved line, and draw a line.

 

When you convert it it will look something like this.

 

After changing the color and transparency and adding another object it looks a bit different.

 

When you create a 3D rotation object remember that the software takes your image and rotates it using the left side of the selection box as the axis of rotation.

    On the next post I will incorporate a 3D object with a photograph.
