Drawing a profile then rotating the head / view

[novice]

New the the forum and Xara, I have searched for posts on how to rotate a face. Could not find one so I am starting this post. Please forgive me if this has been discussed.

I downloaded Xara today because of the 3d feature. My goal is to be able to rotate a face/head for very easy perspective changes. A simple ellipse with ears, supraorbital and chin was rotatable using the 3d feature; simple holes for eyes did not follow the 3d movement.

Can this be done in Xara?

The overarching purpose is to significantly reduce the time required to publish multi-panel and single panel cartoons and increase the percentage of "idea" to panel - (I use defined Illustrator Symbols to store/redraw vectors/objects/lettering/figures/characters so characters, etc.. don't have to be redrawn each time.) However, I would like to tweek the character slightly (i.e. rotate). For example, I pluck the head/hair/neck of Character "A" from my symbol library and using Xara, I turn the head 7 degrees left or more problematic, 30 degrees up. Possible?

Novice to Xara appreciates your help.

Hi Novice, welcome to TG Forums.

The 3D extrude tool in Xtreme is not a tool for creating models in 3D space.

Please see the 3D extrude video at the Xara.com 'features' page for a good intro to this tool
http://www.xara.com/us/products/xtre.../feature?id=82

The new extrusion tool in Xara Xtreme uses the 3D rendering technology developed for Xara's popular Xara3D tool, to bring high quality 3D extrusion capabilities to Xara Xtreme. It provides a fast, easy way of creating simple 3D shapes from any 2D shape or outline, rendered with high quality shading and light reflections.
