Select \u201cInsert\u201d from the ribbon bar, then click the drop-down on \u201c3D Models\u201d. You can browse models from Remix 3D<\/a> (\u201cFrom Online Sources\u201d) or models stored on your computer (\u201cFrom a File\u201d).<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

You can insert Filmbox (fbx), Object (obj), 3D Manufacturing (3mf), Polygon (ply), StereoLithography (stl), and Binary GL (glb) files.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

STL files are commonly used when designing objects for 3D printing \u2013 here I\u2019ve included a camera\/telescope adapter.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Click on a 3D object and there is a rotation control<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

By changing an object\u2019s orientation, you can use the \u201cMorph\u201d transition to rotate the object during your presentation. Right-click on the slide that contains your 3D object. Select \u201cDuplicate Slide\u201d.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Rotate the object on the new slide. Select \u201cTransitions\u201d from the ribbon bar, and select \u201cMorph\u201d as the transition.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

When you play your presentation, the object will rotate as PowerPoint transitions between the two slides.<\/p>\n

Now I know there aren\u2019t a lot of uses for rotating 3D unicorns in business presentations, but manufacturers can embed 3D renderings of their products. Many architectural firms are providing 3D building designs that can now be included in PowerPoint presentations.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
