Issue of moving graphic inside the 3d object material

Hi,
Suddenly this function isn't working correctly for me.

In the 3D Material, I added two symbols. Previously, I could easily click on a symbol and move it around the surface of the 3D object. But now, it's become difficult.

When I try to click on the first symbol (there are two in total), the mouse movement doesn't move the symbol—it moves the entire 3D object instead.

Example (the attached screenshot)
Try to re-position the symbol behind the flower symbol, and click the layer, but when moving, the whole 3d object moves, not the symbol .

Hi @Babak305417133vx0,

Thanks for jumping in and confirming you're seeing the same issue. I understand how frustrating this can be, especially when something that worked well before suddenly stops behaving as expected.

Could you please confirm the details of the operating system you're working on and, if possible, share a short screen recording showing your workflow and how the issue appears? That would really help me get a better sense of what's happening and pass it along for further investigation.

Looking forward to your update!

This remains completely broken in 30.0 release…

I've seen that as well.

Below the symbols there is a little list with the object and its materials applied. There you can click on the material to activate it. And then move around with the cursor to find the sweet spot where to grab the material, but it is indeed difficult.

Bonjour,

Dans ma version d'Illustrator, on peut plaquer un seul symbole par face.

Donc pour deux symboles, il faut les grouper en créer un nouveau.

Ensuite une fois plaqué sur la face de l'objet 3D, si on veut déplacer un objet par rapport à l'autre, il suffit de modifier le symbole.

PS ma version est assez ancienne.

You are using the Classic 3D effect. In 3D and materials you can apply multiple.
