Can you convert a 3D object back into a 2D layer?

I am drawing out a map of a world and need to design the poles while the layer is in a 3D sphere to prevent distortion. In CS5, I would turn the layer into a 3D.sphere, draw on it to map out the land masses, then turn it back into a 2D layer and refine. However, I can't seem to do this on CS6. Is there a way for me to do that?
Thank you.

double click on the sub layer of the 3d layer in the layer panel.  This should open the diffuse layer that you're working on.

  • Can you convert your desktop site plan into the phone & tablet version w/o re-creating the pages?

    Can you convert your desktop site plan into the phone & tablet version without re-creating the landing pages? This seems too extensive to have to re-design each page?

    Cwsnell,
    On your nav bar there is a shorcut to other pages.
    The most effecient way I have found to do this from the phone layout,
    click on the page icon shown above
    type in the name of the page (and select the desktop version as indicated by the icon of the monitor)
    select all on that page (CTRL A / Command A) and copy (CTRL C / Command C)
    revert back to the phone layout page and paste (CTRL V / Command V)
    then resize, delete what you dont need, make any other edits and your done!
    There is not a way to copy a page entirely over.  The mobile version should have less information and less imagery to enable fast load times.

  • How can you restore ALL your photos back into your iphone after changing your icloud plan to 20GB?!? It ruined my photos and videos, and I don't even know if I have them anymore!!!

    Okay. I recently changed my icloud storage plan to 20GB, for $0.99 a month, to have more room in my phone. After that, I realized a lot of my videos were acting up and wouldn't play. I honestly don't know what I did, nor that I can remember, but I tried to play around a little with my phone to see if anything would work again. Then I ended up storing more than HALF of my photos and videos in my icloud storage, and now I can't seem to get them back into my regular iphone stream! I can't see ANY of the pictures/videos stored in icloud, but it tells me that I have 377 photos and 16 videos stored in icloud, and 2.2GB are used, and I could only see 33 photos, and 8 videos in my phone! I want to know how I could UNDO all this, and put EVERYTHING back in my iphone storage, and OFF of icloud! icloud confuses me a lot. I'll just stick with 5GB. HELPP PLEASE!!!
    And also, I want to know WHYYYYY I have to keep downloading my videos before playing them!

    That's fine.
    It takes forever to shut down and to star up (compared to when it was new with snow leopard) .. Some programs are now running slow (iMovie, Photoshop) and very often it just doesn’t respond so i have to turn it off the hard way loosing what I was working on.
    Have you tested in a fresh user account, or in Safe Mode ?
    A clean install is rarely necessary, and may not even solve the problem. If you plan to do a clean install and migrate, you defeat the purpose of a clean install.
    If you do a clean install you'll also need to replace your iLife apps from the disks that shipped with your Mac, they're on Disk 2.

  • Help - Can I Convert/import a PDF back into an InDesign doc?

    Long story short: This is a document I originally created and the original was lost. The client now wants to make changes and re print. I would like avoid having to build the entire doc from scratch. I have the original Hi-res PDF that I retrieved from the printer.
    Question:
    1) Is there any way to convert/import this doc back into an editable Indesign Document?
    Steve

    Sorry Kids- was just having a bad day! To Kath: you are absolutely right -didn't even think about it, & checked it in MS Word with that word in wrong usage, just flew through! To Jongware: Sorry Bud, but plenty of help out there to solve that issue! To Scott: great link, had fun reading that one! Just got my second & third AAS degrees from local community college (Print & Graphic Design(updated to digital) at 53. And I was appalled at how many of our HS grads are not only receiving their diplomas but getting into college and cannot read at all! So I guess there will be much need for good proofreaders for the immediate future at least, Damn, must still be having that Bad Day relapse!! Have a great day all & sorry again for anyone I might have insulted, not my intention, if I were perfect, I wouldn't need to be here now would I? Les G

  • How do I convert my smart object back into the layers I made it from?

    I was working with 100 layers or so and i converted it to a smart object to work with easier.  However some of the layers and layer modes don't interact properly with the background that is separate from the smart object.  There doesn't seem to be an option to release layers within the smart object.  I attempted to solve the problem by dragging the layers from the smart object editable file but it didn't line up within the original file...extremely frustrating.  Any solutions? PS6 BETA Lion OSX

    It was created inside the file.  They were differnt dimensions though because the layers selected to become a smart object had different bounds beyond the canvas.
    The issue was that once I dragged layers from the editable file that was the smart object I would attempt to realign them BUT I have so many adjustments with masks that we'ren't linked so they wouldn't move with my realignment move(even a control+t)...I ended up going back in and relinking them all(which took really long) in order to realign things. 
    But really it would be so much easier if i could have just clicked re-add layers to file or something.
    No problem Howard, thanks anyway.

  • Converting a class object back to a .class file

    Hi,
    How can i convert a class object back to a .class file ? Thanks

    any pointers on how to do it then ? i don't have
    access to the native codeIf I have understood you correctly, you have native code that generates bytecode. Currently you load the class this bytecode represents right into the classloader, but you want to save it to disk as a .class file. Right?
    If so, you just have to get hold of that bytecode before it "disappears" into the classloader, and save it to disk. How you can best do this depends on exactly how you communicate with that native code.
    If I have misunderstood your problem (and that's not unlikely), please try to be clearer.

  • Why has iTunes seperated a album which I have copied over from my external hard drive into iTunes? How can you pull all the songs back together into one album again?

    Why has iTunes seperated a album into indevidual songs, which I have copied over from my external hard drive into iTunes? How can you pull all the songs back together into one album again?

    Steve MacGuire a.k.a. turingtest2 - iTunes & iPod Hints & Tips - Grouping Tracks Into Albums - http://www.samsoft.org.uk/iTunes/grouping.asp (older post on Apple Discussions http://discussions.apple.com/message/9910895)
    Quick answer:  Select all the tracks on the album, File > get info, and either give them all a single "album artist", or check the "compilation" flag (as in https://discussions.apple.com/message/17670085).
    If these are from multiple-CD sets you may also need to enter the appropriate information in the disc number fields.  If they are not a multiple CD set you still need to make sure the disc number fields are set correctly or all empty.

  • Can you convert Purchase Requisition into Purchase Orders on APO.

    Hello all,
    Can you convert Purchase Requisition into Purchase Orders on APO. Does Standard APO functionality provides you the capability.
    Regards
    Najam

    APO is meant only for Planning and no execution is done. Execution is done only in R/3. You can set the conversion indicator for the conversion of Preqs to POs however the conversion happens only in R/3. Based on the Publication settings and the transfer settings maintained you can publish the Preqs immediately to R/3 and get it converted to POs

  • How do I convert a shockwave object file into a mp4 or avi video?

    How do I convert a shockwave object file into a mp4 or avi video?  Do you know of any software that converts that type of file?  

    The M4V format is a video file format developed by Apple and is very close to the MP4 format. The differences are the optional Apple's DRM copyright protection, and the treatment of AC3 (Dolby Digital) audio which is not standardized for the MP4 container.
    If your M4V video is not unprotected M4V files and without AC3 audio. It may be recognized and played by other video players by changing the file extension from ".m4v" to "mp4".
    So you can try to change the file extension and check if it works. If it doesn't work, try Leawo video converter(for windows or mac) and convert m4v to mp4 format.

  • Can you convert a web document to a print document?

    I know most people want to do this the other way around, but I have a web document that was created for an ipad, and I now need to somehow make something fit for press from that file. I didn't create the original file, and I'm not familiar at all with the formatting, as I've only ever done very straighforward work in InDesign, for instance I can't select/edit the text at all, I wonder if it's tagged so as to link to a different part of the book, I was hoping that if I converted the document, all that might go away and I might be able to edit it?
    How would you go about this task?
    Can someone help please?
    Thanks

    It sounds either like it might have been built by placing the pages from another document into this one,  or the layers or objects are locked.
    It's easy to check for locks: Open the layers panel and expand the layers. Look for little lock symbols. If that's what it is, either unlock them there by clicking the lock symbol, or in the Preferences, under General,  uncheck Prevnet Selection of Locked Objects. This will allow you select inidividaully locked objects, but if the ntire layer is locked you'll have to deal with that in the layers panel.
    If the file is really linked pages, it will show up in the Links panel.

  • How can I import an ibook file back into iBook Author?

    I exported an ebook from iBook Author thinking it is the equivalent of saving the file.
    I did not save the file, I only exported it and than exited the program.
    My active file is vannished.
    I need to make some adjustments to the ebook, but can not bring it back up.
    Is there a way that I can re-import the iBook file back into iBook Author?
    When I open iBook Author and try to open the exported file the program does not recognise the ibook file...
    Thanks for your help!

    Check for previous versions of that book in iBA....even if not saved.
    You can dig into the .ibooks file by changing the suffix to zip, but you'll have to manually extract what you can from assets you find. Please only do this with your own books.
