iBooks Author: Add a 3D object
You can add 3D objects that your readers can manipulate. For this widget, you need a COLLADA file with the extension .dae.
Add a 3D object
-
Choose 3D from the Widgets pop-up menu in the toolbar.
-
To add a file, do one of the following:
-
Drag a file from the Finder to the widget on the page.
-
In the Widget inspector, click Interaction, click Choose, and choose a COLLADA file with the extension .dae.
-
To constrain the object’s rotation to horizontal or vertical axes, choose an option from the Object Rotation pop-up menu.
-
To automatically rotate the object, select “Auto-rotate object when idle.”
You can also drag a 3D file directly to the book page without adding a 3D widget first.
You can’t interact with a 3D object in iBooks Author (it works only in the completed book).
