Course Description

This course expands shape building techniques by introducing 3D shapes and backgrounds to diagrams. It demonstrates how to build and search for pre-built 3D shapes and how to create 3D shapes from pre-existing 2D shapes. It also covers building backgrounds for diagrams and applying background master pages.

Learning Objectives:
