ThreeDFormat Object

  • Article
Publisher Developer Reference

Represents a shape's three-dimensional formatting.

Remarks

You cannot apply three-dimensional formatting to some kinds of shapes, such as beveled shapes. Most of the properties and methods of the ThreeDFormat object for such a shape will fail.

Example

Use the ThreeD property to return a ThreeDFormat object. This example sets the depth, extrusion color, extrusion direction, and lighting direction for the 3-D effects applied to shape one in the active publication.

Visual Basic for Applications 
  Sub SetThreeDSettings()
    Dim tdfTemp As ThreeDFormat

Set tdfTemp = _
    ActiveDocument.Pages(1).Shapes(1).ThreeD

With tdfTemp
    .Visible = True
    .Depth = 50
    .ExtrusionColor.RGB = RGB(255, 100, 255)
    .SetExtrusionDirection _
        PresetExtrusionDirection:=msoExtrusionTop
    .PresetLightingDirection = msoLightingLeft
End With



End Sub
