setting a specific size photoshop 3D
Hi, I’m new to photoshop 3d and this may be a stupid question, but is there a way to set a specific size of the 3D object I am extruding? I have two greek letters for my sorority that I would like to have 3D printed, 3x3x.5 inches. I have brought them into photoshop from illustrator (they are 3×3 in illustrator) and extrude from work path. (I have one file for one letter, and one file for another)
I want to be able to match the properties on both files so that they are the same size when 3d printed. There is no where that I can find to specify the height, depth, width. Is there a way to do this?
I would be grateful for any help anyone can offer!
Thanks…. -

Hi there, am I right in reading that you will be 3D printing this – as in using a 3D Printer? If that’s the case, Photoshop really isn’t what you need to be using – use a 3D modeller instead (Google Sketchup is free and so is Blender among others). A 3D modeller will have the tools you need to build a 3D model whereas Photoshop really doesn’t.
Save early. Save often.

Thanks, my son has a student version of 3ds I’m trying to learn that now but still having problems getting the sizing to be specific. I’ll head over to that forum.
