Working with 3D Objects |
Welcome to the spoken tutorial on Working with 3D Objects in LibreOffice Draw. |
Slide: Learning Objectives | In this tutorial, we will learn to,
|
Slide: Prerequisites | To practise this tutorial, you should have basic knowledge of LibreOffice Draw.
|
Slide: System Requirements | This tutorial is recorded using,
|
Slide: Object | Let’s draw a geometry chart that shows a 2D shape and its equivalent 3D form.
|
Open a new draw file
Rename it as 3D-objects-chart and save it on Desktop. |
Open a new Draw file.
We will name the file as 3D-objects-chart and save it on the Desktop.
|
Go to Standard toolbar >> Click on the Insert text box icon >> Draw a box by clicking and dragging. | Draw a textbox at the top of the page. |
Enter the text
Geometric Shapes in 2D and 3D inside it. |

Drag the snap line to the Draw page.
|
Click on the vertical ruler to see the two-sided arrow.
|
Go to Standard toolbar >> Click on the Insert Text Box icon and Draw a box on the left side.
Type 2D Shapes inside it. |
Let’s insert a textbox on the left side of the Draw page.

Let’s draw another textbox on the right side.
Type “3D Shapes” inside it. |
Select the text by click and drag method.
Click on the Align Center icon. |
Select the text 3D Shapes.
Align the text to the centre of the textbox. |
Only narration | Now we will enable the 3D-settings. |
Click on View >> Select Toolbars >> 3D-settings. | From the Main menu, click on View, select Toolbars and 3D-Settings. |
Point to the respective boxes.
|
3D-Settings toolbox is displayed at the rightmost end of the Standard toolbar.
|
Point to the left of the snap line. | First we’ll draw some 2D shapes on the left of the snap line. |
Slide:
Extrusion |
The method of obtaining a 3D object using a 2D object is called Extrusion.
|
Draw a rectangle, a square,
a circle and a triangle one below the other |
Draw a rectangle, a square, a circle and a triangle one below the other. |
Point to all the objects.
Hold the shift key down click on the rectangle, a square, a circle and a triangle Or click and drag to see a dashed line rectangle enclosing all the objects. Click on the Align icon drop down >> select Ceneterd option. |

Drag the copied objects and place them on the right half of the page. | Let’s drag the copied objects and place them on the right half of the page. |
Click anywhere else on the page | Click anywhere else on the page to deselect the objects. |
Select the copied rectangle and right-click to view the context menu. | Now select the copied rectangle and right-click to view the context menu. |
Click on Convert and then select To 3D. | Click on Convert and then select To 3D. |
Point to the cuboid. | The 2D rectangle is converted to a cuboid. |
Select the Square >> right click >> Click on Convert >> Select To 3D
Select the Circle >> right click >>Click on Convert >> Select To 3D Select the Triangle >> right click >> Click on Convert >> Select To 3D |
Similarly, convert the copied square, circle and triangle into 3D objects. |
Double click on the box rectangle and
Type the name as Rectangle.
|
Let’s type “Rectangle” inside the rectangle shape on the left.
|
Double click on the right-side 3D rectangle box. | However, we cannot type any text on the 3D objects. |
