Adding and editing 3D graphics and shapes

Create outstanding 3D logos and images by customizing graphic objects. In COOL 3D,
importing, creating, and modifying highly complex models are tasks that are rendered elementary

Using the Path Editor

A vector graphic is different from the bitmap
graphics that are most widely known (for
example, those in BMP, JPEG, and GIF
formats). Vector graphics are composed of
paths and often stored in Adobe Illustrator
(*.AI), Window Metafiles (*.WMF) or
Enhanced Metafiles (*.EMF) formats. The
easiest way to create these graphics is to use
Path Editor, accessed by clicking the Insert
Graphics on the Object Toolbar.
