Making a gif spin

[blootoof]

I've managed to import it but it just shows as a square in xara3d

like as not you have imported the bitmap as well or instead of the vector trace
bitmaps always have rectangular shape
if you made the file in xara if you can post it up will take a look

Blootoof, what did you import?

Raster images which are also known as bitmapped images do not contain any information about edges, curves, or lines. They consist of binary 1's and 0's only. Files in gif, jpg, png, tiff, and bmp are some of the many raster formats. Importing one of those file types will only show the bounding edges of the raster image, the rectangle.

Xara3D needs vector objects to tell it what shape to display. A vector describes edges, curves, and lines.

You appear to have uploaded a url/link
if you upload the xara3D file from your computer it should then display

Blootoof,

I adjusted the texture in your Xara3D file so it is centered on the circle.

That was a xara file I uploaded, just can't desplay it or give it a url to desplay it.
