    Default Extrude depth less than 1?

    Is it possible to use 3d option in Xtreme but without extrude?
    Idealy, I would like to be able to set extrude depth to 0.
    Any suggestions?

    Thanks

    An extrusion cannot be less than 1. There would not be much use of an extrusion of 0. If you rotated the object you would not see much of anything.

    If you simply want to add some perspective, use the Mould Tool. It does not add depth but can add perspective to an object.

    Mould Tool distorts image. It doesn't have antialiasing.
    On the other hand, 3D has nice antialiasing.
    What I need is just simple plane in perspective with image on it.
    Another good thing with 3d is that I can easy switch images by just dropping new image on top of the old one.

    Unfortunately it is not possible. At least not in any current version of Xtreme.

    Ramp up the DPI (right-click>>optimise) before using the mould/envelopes on bitmaps.

    That's a nice trick, certainly much easier than 'Create bitmap copy' and then fiddling the copy into place!
