Note

The canvas in most drawing programs marks the outer limits of the working space. But in Paint
3D, the canvas is just another object. You can layer things in front of it, to the sides, behind it, or
even cutting through it.

3D Library is a rabbit hole into a searchable online library
containing over a million 3D objects. You’re free to drop any of
them into your artwork. (You can also get here with the “Get more

models” button on the 3D shapes pane.) The library is part of what
Microsoft calls the Remix 3D online community; you’re welcome
to upload your own objects to it, too.

To the right of these are the Paste, Undo, History, and Redo icons.

Other Tools

Underneath that bank of art-creating tools is a set of icons that let you
manipulate your work and look at what you’ve made. Here’s what they do:

Select. Every object you create is automatically selected at birth—
it glows teal and sprouts handles that let you rotate it and push it

backward or forward (see Figure 8-21). But what if you wander
away and want to select that thing again? Hit this icon and then
select your object.
