In this movie, we'll explore a few more things…you might want to know about the 3D revolve effect.…And over the course of this movie and the next one, we'll…convert these two circles and this three into this 3D three ball.…Go ahead and switch over to the starter…graphic here, and I'm going to turn off these…two objects here inside the layers panel so…that just the red circle is available to me.…And then I'll press the A key to switch to the wide arrow tool, and I'll…go ahead and marquee this right hand point here, and I'll press the…backspace key or the delete key on a Mac, to get rid of it.…

Now what you want to do is zoom out a…click, just to give yourself a little more room here.…And then go up to the effect menu, choose 3D, and choose revolve.…And if you start things off by turning on the preview…checkbox, you'll see that things are revolving in the wrong direction.…In other words, Illustrator is revolving around this left-hand edge, and…thereby creating a cylinder.…And so, what you want to do is, change the offset option here.…
