Extended 3D Toolbar

To see a 3D toolbar you must have a PDF file with a supported 3D object embedded in it. The toolbar appears when you activate the 3D animation.

The default toolbar displays ten tools; you can have more by right-clicking an embedded 3D object and selecting the Expand 3D Tools command.

 

When you extend the 3D Tools toolbar, you have access to more tools:
