Importing jpeg

I'm new to the 3d thing...I am having trouble importing jpeg into Xara 3d. What am I doing wrong?

you can only import a jpg as a texture

to animate something it must be vector - you cannot animate a bitmap

how do I make it a texture?

have you made a vector shape to animate, you cannot import texture if you have not

Offer up your image here and while a TGer works out what can be presented.

TYpically, my version of X3d7 has decided (or rather Magix has decided) not to bother working.
I was going to suggest you read up all of the Help file as you will better understand what is required.

Off on a quest.

Update

Re-installed X3D7 successfully - "simpliclean" is still alive and kicking.

While checking for any updates, I was asked to upload this data:

Sadly, and all too often, the MxUpdater.exe is corrupt.

Anyhow, version 7.0.0.442 it is.
look at Apply the style of an existing graphic in the Help file.

Well done Xara and Magix for still selling a product you stopped developing on 02 March 2011!

i only have ver 6 of xara 3d and that was a questionable purchase for me..
never actually useful, except for working out others problems in the days of spinning logos...

X3D is an example of how concise and precise a Xara User Interface was.
Little gets in the way of dragging and twisting the shapes but when you need precision the menus were there.
No sliders as the graphic was the slider.
