Changing the surface style (Neutral, Warm, Cool, Special) gives you more flexibility over the surface used to decorate your 3D object. If you move to 3-D Format tab, here you can choose other options for example to control the Bevel (top, bottom), the Depth, the Contour, or even the Surface. Here you can keep the text flat or convert it to 3D using the same shape options. The live preview is shown in the slide so make sure your 3-D object in PowerPoint remains visible while you have the dialog opened.

If you don’t need fixed values but want to test how it looks while moving the coordinates, you can play with the right icons and see how it is changed. As you can see below, once we access 3-D Rotation menu we can choose from gallery of ready made rotation presets, but alternatively we can rotate the shape by certain amount by changing the values on X, Y, Z. 3D Rotation in PowerPointįormat Shape is the dialog where all these 3D options are available. In the images below we will see how we can create a 3D shape using the built in Microsoft PowerPoint 2010 3D options. This can be really helpful if you need to create a custom 3D Box with a custom rotation degrees in X, Y, Z or if you want to control the shadow, the depth bevel effects, and more. You can choose to disable Rotation or apply any Parallel rotation.īut if you need more control over the rotation options, you can access the 3-D Rotation Options and more advanced options will appear. This will display a popup with shape options and 3-D Rotation menu will appear.

The easiest way to change the rotation options in PowerPoint is by selecting the shape and then clicking on Shape Effects under Format menu.
