Question about animating text

[98svt]

In version 1.0, you can edit the bevels and drag and drop preset animations to text. I have tried to animate the text and adjust the bevels, but it won't let me. Am I missing something? I clicked the "animate" button, then tried to apply a preset animation effect, won't work. I can use the trackball to to move it around, but no spins?

Let me know if I am missing something please!!

Thanks,

Mike

Mike,

If you select an object (and see bounding boxes on it) and don't have change bevels as an option, then the object is a group. Try either ungrouping or using Ctrl-click to select subparts (see my reply to Jazzman-for-Jesus about how to find hiiden parts of a group).

I am not sure why you are having problems with animation. The presets will work without the animation button selected, but when the animation button is selected you should be able to design your own animation by slecting and moving, rotating and scaling objects.

Hope this helps.

Peace,

It seems to be intermittant. Sometimes it works, sometimes it don't. Sometimes I lose all of the edit options like:
Material
Object
Position
Scale

Then I can't edit the object any longer.
