Hi there, i'm trying to design a takeaway coffee cup, i tried using the template but ended up making my own coffee cup using the cone from basic shapes, but it seems that i can't apply my own graphics onto these basic shapes, is it at all possible? Image below is my custom made coffee cup shape

Hi, you must convert to to a standard model to apply the graphics 😉 in the right pannel or by the menu Object / convert to standard model

So do you have the latest version of Dimension?

In any event I would use the magic wand tool and create a new material (with graphics)

I do have the latest version, i'm not sure if that would work in my case as i also have a pre designed label, with curvature taken into consideration, which is what i'm trying to apply to the cup.

Hi, thank you for the reply, but the option is grayed out in the objects window and doesn't appear at all in the right panel
