Manipulating Decals

The onscreen decal handles you use to map a decal to a model have been improved to make it easier to map decals to complex surfaces.

For all decal mapping types, a rotation handle appears as a ring with its center at the center of the decal. When you drag the rotation handle, the software displays an on-screen protractor that shows the decal angle and lets you change the angle.

For label-mapped decals, the decal handles follows the decal faces.

To access the handles to control the location of decals, do one of the following:

  • In the Task Pane, on the Appearances, Scenes, and Decals tab , expand Decals and drag a decal into the graphics area.
  • In the DisplayManager, click View Decals . Click Open Decal Library to open the Decals folder in the Task Pane. Drag a decal into the graphics area.

    If the model already has decals, right-click a decal and click Edit Decal.
