--- Comment #14 from Regina Henschel <[email protected]> --- (In reply to Heiko Tietze from comment #13) The "Update" is > pointless and should be removed. This is the purpose of the "Update"-icon: If the option "Update" is on, then the fields in the 3D-Effects dialog are filled with the current settings of the 3D-object, when you click on an 3D-object. If the option "Update" is off, the fields in the 3D-Effects are not changed when you click on an 3D-object. You need this option, when you want to transfer the settings from one 3D-object to another. Steps: You have "Update" on and fill the dialog fields with the settings of the source object. Then you set "Update" off. Then you select the target object and click on "Apply". That is the only way to transfer settings from one 3D-object to another I know. The format-paintbrush tool does not work for 3D-objects. The 3D Effects dialog really is in need of an update. But the options are so complex that a new dialog should not be implemented without very careful planning first. Please include me in such considerations if such an update is actually to be carried out.(In reply to mzaams from comment #0) > when modifying 3d object at impress and draw using 3d object effect dialog, > the preview only shows ball no matter what object i draw. this annoying as > we can see the result of effect change directly. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
