Shapes.Add3DModel method (PowerPoint)

Creates a Model3DFormat object from an existing file. Returns a Shape object that represents the new 3D model.

Syntax

expression.Add3DModel (FileName, LinkToFile, SaveWithDocument, Left, Top, Width, Height)

expression A variable that represents a Shapes object.

Parameters

Name	Required/Optional	Data type	Description
FileName	Required	String	The file from which the 3D model object is to be created.
LinkToFile	Required	MsoTriState	Determines whether the 3D model will be linked to the file from which it was created.
SaveWithDocument	Required	MsoTriState	Determines whether the linked 3D model will be saved with the document into which it is inserted. This argument must be msoTrue if LinkToFile is msoFalse.
Left	Required	Single	The position, measured in points, of the left edge of the 3D model relative to the left edge of the slide.
Top	Required	Single	The position, measured in points, of the top edge of the 3D model relative to the top edge of the slide.
Width	Optional	Single	The width of the 3D model, measured in points (enter -1 to auto-calculate a width based on the 3D model dimensions).
Height	Optional	Single	The height of the 3D model, measured in points (enter -1 to auto-calculate a height based on the 3D model dimensions).

Return value

Shape

Example

This example adds a 3D model created from the file Sphere.glb to mySlide. The inserted 3D model is embedded in the active document.

VB

Set mySlide = Application.ActivePresentation.Slides(1) 
Set myShape = mySlide.Shapes.Add3DModel(FileName:="c:\my 3d models\sphere.glb", LinkToFile:=False, SaveWithDocument:=True, Left:=100, Top:=100, Width:=70, Height:=70 )
