Inserting and adjusting 3D models

You can insert and view 3D models in Corel DESIGNER by using the embedded interface of XVL Player, a 3D viewer for XVL files. In addition, you can use the controls of the XVL player to adjust the view of the 3D model by panning, rotating, zooming, and choosing a different view.

Inserted 3D models are linked with the source 3D files. Any adjustments that you make to an inserted file affect the source file. You can break the link between the inserted files and the source 3D files at any time.

To insert a 3D model Back to Top
1.
 
Click File Insert 3D model.
If this menu command is not available, you must update your installation to include XVL Player. For more information, see To modify or repair a CorelDRAW Technical Suite installation.

Locate and open the XVL file that you want to insert.
3.
 
Drag in the drawing window to insert the file at the desired size and position.
You can insert only 3D models saved to the XVL file format. To insert a 3D model saved to another file format, you must first import it (File 3D Import), save it as an XVL file (including snapshots, animations, and cross section), and then insert it.
