Add a custom bevel path
1. Open the Bevels.ai file, which is located in the Adobe Illustrator CS5\Support Files\Required\Resources\en_US\ folder (Windows) or Adobe
Illustrator CS5\Required\Resources\en_US folder ((Mac OS).
2. Create a single open path in the Bevels.ai file.
3. Choose Window > Symbols, and do one of the following to make the path a symbol:
Drag the path to the Symbols panel.
With the path selected, click the New Symbol button in the Symbols panel or choose New Symbol from the panel menu.
4. To rename the symbol, double-click the symbol in the Symbols panel, enter a name in the Symbol Options dialog box, and click OK.
5. Choose File > Save.
6. Quit Illustrator and then relaunch Illustrator.
The Bevel menu in the 3D Extrude & Bevel Options dialog box lists the bevel.
7. To apply the custom bevel, do one of the following:
To apply the bevel to an extruded 3D object, select the 3D object, and then double-click the 3D Extrude & Bevel effect in the
Appearance panel. In the 3D Extrude & Bevel Options dialog box, choose the bevel from the Bevel menu.
To apply the custom bevel to 2D artwork, select the 2D object, and then choose Effect > 3D > Extrude & Bevel. In the 3D Extrude &
Bevel Options dialog box, choose the custom bevel from the Bevel menu.
Rotate an object in three dimensions
1. Select the object.
2. Choose Effect > 3D > Rotate.
3. Select Preview to preview the effect in the document window.
4. Click More Options to view the complete list of options, or Fewer Options to hide the extra options.
5. Specify options:
Position Sets how the object is rotated and the perspective from which you view it. (See Set 3D rotation position options.)
Surface Creates a wide variety of surfaces, from dull and unshaded matte surfaces to glossy and highlighted surfaces that look like plastic.
(See Surface shading options.)
6. Click OK.
Map artwork to a 3D object
Every 3D object is composed of multiple surfaces. For example, an extruded square becomes a cube that is made of six surfaces: the front and
back faces, and the four side faces. You can map 2D artwork to each surface on a 3D object. For example, you might want to map a label or text
onto a bottle-shaped object or simply add different textures to each side of an object.

You can only map 2D artwork that’s stored in the Symbols panel to a 3D object. Symbols can be any Illustrator art object, including paths,
compound paths, text, raster images, mesh objects, and groups of objects.
When mapping 3D objects, consider the following:
Because the Map Art feature uses symbols for mapping, you can edit a symbol instance and then automatically update all surfaces that are
mapped with it.
