How do I change the color of a 3D Box shape?
I'd like to create a 3D diagram in Visio 2007 that uses 3D Box shapes with my
company color scheme. When I assign a color to a 3D Box shape, all faces of the box turn the same color. How can I create 3D boxes in a custom color without losing the 3D shading? Where can I find a good explanation of how Visio 2007 colors, color palettes, and themes work? |

The "3D" shapes are really no such thing, they are grouped shapes with the "3D" parts being just plain shapes that have part of their geometry contolled by an external vanishing point. Open the document explorer, find the shape and look at the shapes within the group. 2 of them will belong to the 3D Depth layer, the other sahpe is the front part of the shape. This is probably the one you want to fill. So select this part of the shape in the explorer and us e the fill/format as normal. The 3D depth shapes have formulae that derive their colour from the front shape and the formulae are guarded. Come back and ask if you want to modify these. -- Regards, Paul Herber, Sandrila Ltd.
