RotationX Property

Microsoft Word Visual Basic

expression.RotationX

expression    Required. An expression that returns a ThreeDFormat object.

Remarks

To set the rotation of the extruded shape around the y-axis, use the RotationY property of the ThreeDFormat object. To set the rotation of the extruded shape around the z-axis, use the Rotation property of the Shape object. To change the direction of the extrusion's sweep path without rotating the front face of the extrusion, use the SetExtrusionDirection method.

Example

This example adds three identical extruded ovals to the active document and sets their rotation around the x-axis to – 30, 0, and 30 degrees, respectively.

With ActiveDocument.Shapes
    With .AddShape(msoShapeOval, 30, 60, 50, 25).ThreeD
        .Visible = True
        .RotationX = -30
    End With
    With .AddShape(msoShapeOval, 90, 60, 50, 25).ThreeD
        .Visible = True
        .RotationX = 0
    End With
    With .AddShape(msoShapeOval, 150, 60, 50, 25).ThreeD
        .Visible = True
        .RotationX = 30
    End With
End With
