Try this: Draw a nice, fat vertical block arrow. Double-click an write 'FRED'. Click out and re-select. Click the extrude icon. Now we have a nice 3D arrow with Fred inscribed on it's flat face.. But look, the extrude bar has rotate buttons. Let's point this arrow over my shoulder. Neat. But the writing isn't on the blade any more. It's being attacked by the tip of the arrow. That isn't what I expected. I expected the writing to rotate too.
NOT Reproducible with "LibreOffice 3.3.2 – WIN7 Home Premium (64bit) German UI [OOO330m19 (Build:202 / tag 3.3.2.2)]" @ Bob Harvey: Please contribute sample document showing all steps, screenshots, more detailed step by step instrucitions
Created attachment 45184 [details] rotation example Using the 3D settings toolbar to rotate the extruded image leaves the text where it was. I would expect it to remain attached to the original face of the 3D figure.
[Reproducible] with "LibreOffice 3.3.2 – WIN7 Home Premium (64bit) German UI [OOO330m19 (Build:202 / tag 3.3.2.2)]". Rotation with toolbar buttons works exactly as if you rotate only the extruded DRAWing object in a group with the object and a Textbox. Using menu 'Modify > Rotate' for (different) rotation works as expected.
Ah, yes. But that is only "Rotating". It isn't "Rotating".
