How do I change the 3D tiles, colors, size and shapes as well as movement ? MEP 16 Plus Using The Build In Xara 3D Program

corvette61 wrote on 11/11/2012, 11:30 AM

When I used to be able to change these items I would double click the title in the time line ( Halo) ( From the 3D title selection as an example) and it would send me to a dialog box saying "Edit Settings" then it would take me to the 3D Xara editing program where you could do all the changes, size, colors, text, movement ect. now when I double click the title it gives me a box telling me to use the quick entry box in the title menu. The last time I had this problem, Manualmagix gave me a link to go to and download it and it worked but that link has been blocked. Can anyone help ????

Hi

What has changed that now stops this working have you:-

Reinstalled MEP 16?

Upgraded your computer and installed MEP 16.

Applied a patch after the last time it worked?

Or something else?

I haven't really done anything, it just stopped working, I haven't used it in a while so I can't even say when it happened. I have uninstalled ane reinstalled the program several times and still I get the same message about the Quick entry box. I understand I can change the title in the box but how do you get to change all the other functions like colors, sizes, movement and shadows like I used to be able to do with the Magix Xara 3D Maker that came up when you double clicked on the 3D Title (Halo) or others, the dialog box that came up on the screen gave a list of obsions to choose from and one of the obsions was "Edit Setting", when you clicked on that it brought up the Magix / Xara 3D Maker Program, there you can make all of the changes listed above and more.

 

Thanks

Hi Ray,

As John says, something must have changed.

Did you try 'Reset program settings to defaults'?

Do you have these files:

Presumably when you right-click the title object in the timeline you no longer get 'Edit settings' as the first menu item?

I assume you are the Corvette61 of this 38-post thread in our old and much missed forum:
http://support2.magix.net/boards/magix/index.php?showtopic=57693

That had a successful conclusion! So if simpler measures fail I'd recommend re-installing Xara as described.
