Why Use 3D?

2D Slides 3D Models

Slides are a static portrait. 3D helps foster conceptual understanding


and visual and spatial thinking.

Audience is passive and cannot interact. Animated 3D models display objects within
space in ways text and images cannot.
No 3D Model? No Problem!

 
Microsoft makes it easy to insert a 3D
Model! Simply go to the Insert Ribbon and
click on the 3D Models option. Choose the
option for online sources gallery (shown at
the right). Select the model you wish to
insert.

 
3D Models is a subscription-only feature. If
you have an Office 365 subscription, the
next slide shows you how it works in a new
presentation.
