3D Maker 7 import problem

[boowho]

The attached files will not import correctly into 3D Maker 7.

Maybe someone could take a look at it and see the problem?? I've tried it as .EPS, .PDF, XAR and all the rest of the supposedly supported formats (including .WMF) always with the same result. My object shows up as a 3 dimensional cube.

Thanks

I don't have 3D Maker, but by looking at your file it seems that you might need to subtract the white area from the green. Also you have a lot extra shapes so I think that first, you'll need to clean up the file

Thank you..... I don't know how to do this "subtraction". Also, how did you discover these "extra shapes"? You can probably tell, I'm not a sophisticated graphics expert.

I used a program named Vector Magic to create the vector file from a raster image (.png) file.

Boowho??

I don't see PGD in your profile and you'll need it to erase the extra shapes, which you'll be able to see when you switch to outlines. Once you erase the extra shapes, (keeping one green and the white in the middle) move the white shape to the front, select both of them and press ctrl+2, then you can save the file and import it into 3D Maker

I went ahead and work the file for you, see if that's what you need

As MVMusic said, you have lots of extra shapes. You can see them in the Page and layout gallery in Photo and Graphic Designer. However, when you say it doesn't import correctly, what do you expect to import? as far as I know 3D Maker only imports shapes, so if you have a square background, It'll import as a square ... is this what you expected to see? If so, you need to delete everything except that shape? No subtraction required. Please confirm what you thought you should see.
