Objects

In Adobe Dimension, you can work with different types of objects like models, lights, and cameras. Each object type has unique behaviors and properties.

Model A 3D form built with points and edges, created in other applications then imported to Dimension.
3D text A type of parametric model created with Dimension's text and extrusion engines.
Shapes A type of parametric model created with Dimension's shape tools.
Group An organizational helper object with no visual representation.
Material Applied to surface objects like models and text to change the appearance of the object.
Camera Used to capture views of the scene - simulates a physical camera lens and settings.
Environment An object that represents the infinite space around the 3D scene that is used to edit the ground plane and add image-based lighting.
