'Bring to front'?

Post by Microchip »

Simple thing, can't find the answer. I selected an object from the palette. Then I drew a shape to add to the animation. The shape is at the back of the object and cannot come to the front. I did it the other way around - drew the shape first, then added the object. Same thing. I searched the Help. How do I put my drawn shape to the front of the image? Tried grouping it but then the shape went inside the object.

Hi Helen,

3D is not a 2D image that uses layers. The objects are in 3D space, and not layered or stacked on top of each other. So to "bring an object to the front", you need to move it on the Z axis.

In 3D PS, once the object is selected, press the Right mouse button, holding it while you drag, down to bring forward up to send backward. You can also select the Position tool (hand), then use the spin box (arrows) to increase or decrease the numerical amount in the Z settings, or just enter in a figure.
