Hi Peter,
I belong to the authors of this part in the German version
www.openoffice.org/de/doc/oooauthors/ooo-draw-handbuch.pdf
I now see, that all my efforts to distinguish between the so called
"custom shapes" and the classical (from OOo1) primitive shapes are lost
and that there is a large confusion in the descriptions and figures.
Only "custom shapes" can use "Extrusion on/off". The objects of the
Fontwork gallery are "custom shapes" too. Custom shapes remain custom
shapes even when extruded to 3D. This kind of extrusion is a special
state of a custom shapes. Therefore you can turn extrusion on and off.
Only classical primitive shapes can be turned into true 3D Scenes. Such
a 3D Scene and the 3D objects in it are different kind of objects. There
is no way back to the generating 2D shape.
Extruded custom shapes and true 3D objects have different tools and are
stored different in file format. It is no good idea to mix them up in
the guide.
The icon has the label "Extrusion on/off" but the icon "To 3D" does also
"extrude". Therefore the word "extrusion" is not suitable to distinguish
between them.
Do you understand German, so that you can read the German "Draw-Handbuch"?
Kind regards
Regina
