Envelope styles and editing options Extruding objects The Extrude command lets you create objects that appear to have three dimensions. You can extrude vector and text objects in parallel style, and vector objects in circular and semi-circular (“sweep”) style. You can rotate and scale extruded objects in three-dimensional space. You can set the placement, intensity, and color of a simulated light source for shading extruded objects. Solid color fill inks can be applied to extruded objects. Strokes and other inks are not supported. Note: Canvas extrusions resemble QuickDraw 3D objects, but QuickDraw 3D is not required to extrude objects. You can save extruded objects in QuickDraw 3D file format (3DMF) if QuickDraw 3D is installed (Mac only). Example Style Number of handles Envelope behavior Warp Enter the number of hori- zontal and vertical han- dles in the text boxes. Each handle behaves like a path anchor point and can move in any direction. Distort Four Each side of the envelope edit box is a straight line; handles can move in all directions. This style is useful for creating perspective. Straight Line Eight All handles are connected by straight lines. Corner handles are constrained to right-angle movements; side handles can move in all directions. Single Cusp Eight Side handles form convex or concave curves between corner handles. Side handles can move in any direc- tion; corner handles are constrained to right-angle movements. Double Cusp Eight Side handles form S-shaped curves between corner handles. Side handles can move in any direction; cor- ner handles are constrained to right-angle move- ments. Bézier Eight All handles behave like smooth anchor points and can move in any direction.
