Quick help on creating 3D box

Post by mixtrik »

Hello all. Although I am somewhat familiar working with 3D objects. I am wondering if there is a way to make a box (equal on all sides) just by using the 3D options tab. When I make a square and then go to 3D options to turn on 'extrude' in 3D conversion. It only becomes so thick. How do i make the extrusion thicker or wider, in order to make a perfect box?

Select the shape, now click on the advance box in the style palette. You will see a way to adjust the thickness.
Sorry for bad animation

You have def. put me on the right track. The only problem I am having now is that it elongates the box to become a much larger rectangle. Im thinking of just switching to the 3D cube script and work from there. Thank you and I hope you enjoy the this weekend.
