  reverse paths?

  Posted by Satesh Ramjattan on July 12, 2005 at 2:08 am

  Hi,
  Does anyone know how to reverse paths?
  Example: I create a Cirle mask/path with ten points. Say the first point is at 12 o’clock, if i add 3d stroke with a taper at the tail, how do i make it go counter-clockwise instead of clockwise?
  am i being unclear?

  You probably don’t need to reverse the path — at any rate, you can only redraw the path or change the first vertex.

  You should probably look into the 3D stroke effect’s controls to see what you want to do. For example, animate the start parameter instead of the end parameter to reverse the “writing-on” of the stroke.

  If that doesn’t help, let us know exactly what you want to do with the 3D stroke effect.
