cannot re-create spinning 3d flower

[Flores]

Several years ago I created this gif of a spinning flower with a different version of Xara, now lost. I just bought Xara3d6, but cannot get it to import any 2d files except the ones that came as samples with the program. I have followed the posted tutorials very closely, but my installation will not import any 2d files, whether *.wmf or otherwise. They are simply ignored.

I also notice that several sample 2d files seem to be incorrectly labeled in my new 3d6 installation. For example, "Loco.xar" imports as the letter "P". "Lifebelt.xar" imports as "a". "Key.xar" yields the letter "A". And "Tulip.xar" yields the letter "U".

I suspect that I used Tulip.xar when I created the spinning logo in the previous Xara 3d program.

Am I missing something? Any comments welcome.

My goal is to re-create the spinning tulip and somehow have the monkey image melt into a different image while still spinning. i would also like to have different images on opposite sides, like a coin.
