RotationX Property

Applies To

ThreeDFormat object.

Description

Returns or sets the rotation of the extruded shape around the x-axis, in degrees. Can be a value from – 90 through 90. A positive value indicates upward rotation; a negative value indicates downward rotation. Read/write Single.

Remarks

To set the rotation of the extruded shape around the y-axis, use the RotationY property of the ThreeDFormat object. To set the rotation of the extruded shape around the z-axis, use the Rotation property of the Shape object. To change the direction of the extrusion's sweep path without rotating the front face of the extrusion, use the SetExtrusionDirection method.

Example

This example adds three identical extruded ovals to the active document and sets their rotation around the x-axis to – 30, 0, and 30 degrees, respectively.

With ActiveDocument.Shapes
    With .AddShape(msoShapeOval, 30, 60, 50, 25).ThreeD
        .Visible = True
        .RotationX = -30
    End With
    With .AddShape(msoShapeOval, 90, 60, 50, 25).ThreeD
        .Visible = True
        .RotationX = 0
    End With
    With .AddShape(msoShapeOval, 150, 60, 50, 25).ThreeD
        .Visible = True
        .RotationX = 30
    End With
End With
