4. Click the Back Edge pop-up menu, then choose a setting other than Same As Front
or Square.
The Back Edge Size slider appears.
5. Drag the Back Edge Size slider to the left to make the edge smaller, or to the right to
make the edge larger.

camera that’s pointed at the back of the object. See Move and rotate 3D text in Motion.
Set the style of 3D text inside corners
When the front edge or back edge of a text object is set to anything other than Square, you
can customize the inside edge corners (such as the angles in a letter E).
1. In the Layers list, Timeline, or canvas in Motion, select a 3D text object.
2. In the 3D Text section of the Text Inspector’s Appearance pane, click the Inside Corners
pop-up menu, then choose an option:
• Straight: Sets all edge corners to sharp angles.
• Round: Softens the sharpness of edge corners by adding a round curve to each
sharp angle.
• Miter: Smooths the sharpness of edge corners in a more subtle way, by adding an
additional angle, known as a miter.
