Windows 10: No Canvas or 3D Objects Button on top bar?

I need to change the size of a project but I can't do this without the canvas button.

Paint 3d Transparency in Video (mp4 and or animated gif) of a 3d object

In Paint 3d if you try to save your 3d object as a video (mp4 or animated gif), it seems impossible to have a transparent background. Yes you can select to make the canvas transparent on the canvas tab, but if you do that, then rather than the canvas showing
up behind the 3d object, you get the default greyish background that you see behind any 3d object as you create it. If you try to rotate a created 3d object this greyish background is what you see behind your object.

if you select to have an effect like turntable rotate of your object, when you save as either mp4 or animated gif, either the canvas, or if you make the canvas transparent, then the greyish background shows up in your video as a rectangle, that also rotates
around. There does not seem to be any way to set an alpha channel 'color' either as a background or as an alpha channel canvas.

This makes it impossible to create a 3d object that rotates, or does anything, that can be placed in front of any variety of other objects. There is a way, that you can put the 3d object infront of a background in PowerPoint, and then set the canvas to
transparent, and then create an mp4 or animated gif within PowerPoint. That works only within PowerPoint. Not all programs have the ability to set a new transparent canvas. Any help is appreciated.

 

Paint 3D - cannot place on canvas object from 3D library

Hi,



Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.



I understand your query related to placing objects from Paint 3D library on the Canvas.



I would suggest you to refer the article
Fix problems with apps from Microsoft Store and see if that helps.



In addition, you may try creating a new user account and check the app. Refer the article

Create a local user or administrator account in Windows 10



However, if the issue persists, I would suggest you to post a feedback using the

Feedback Hub app on Windows 10, so that our engineering team can look into this for you.
