Question

Edit 3d text words

So I right clicked on a 3d text layer I had, and then I selected duplicate text. This made a second layer, but now I don't know how to edit the words in the duplicated layer. 

 

In my case, I duplicated the word, "cold", and want to change the text to "edit"  

I got Adobe Photoshop yesterday so I am a beginner. Please help me.

 

Thanks

Hi Savage:

 

I got Adobe Photoshop yesterday so I am a beginner.

Everything in Photoshop happens on layers.

  1. Start by selecting the layer in the Layers panel with the word COLD
  2. Select COLD in the 3D panel
  3. Click on Edit Source button in the Properties panel and make your edit in the .psb file.
  4. Click the checkmark on the Options bar to commit the edits
  5. Save and close the .psb file to return to your document

So when I select the layer, then go to Window >> 3D, it is showing this, and no place to click cold.

If you see that in the 3D panel then it looks like you have not got a 3D layer selected in the layers panel. 

Please show both the layers panel with your 3D layer selected and the 3D panel.

Click where shown in the 3D panel , then on Edit Source in the properties panel.

 

 

That will open up a document where you can edit the original text and after changing it close and save to update the 3D layer.

I can open the properties but I can't seem to find the 3d panel.

So I found the 3d button but I don't see edit source from here...

 

 

 

please let me know what to do, thanks!


Hi

 

Look at Dave's instructions again where he has the steps numbered:

  • Step 1: Select this item in the 3D panel
  • Step 2: Click "Edit Source in the Properties panel

 

What do you have selected on screen when you are looking at your 3D panel?
