3D Button using the Extrude Tool

[Rik]

Hi All.

This is pretty easy to do, even if you are relatively new to Xara.
Well, if I can do it, anyone can!

Basically:
Draw a circle and give it a circular fill
Draw a few reflections
Group it all together
Use the 'Extrude Tool'
Then, it's almost 'hey presto' !!!

Try using different Bevel types and different light settings and angles to design your own.

So, let's see your examples - let's see what you can come up with?!

Very neat Rik. Here is mine. It isn't as good as yours, but I tried.

Me thinks Rik has been practicing.

Looks very convincing.

looks very good Rik, and the little tutorial is great too, thanks for posting it. I have an idea for one but I'll have to wait til later, yesterday was a holiday here, and today I have to cram two days work into one!
