A friend of mine just upgraded to LxBeams but he does not have the 3D tools. He is on an iBook running 10.6.8 and got LxBeams build 6609. Is this a problem with the age and processor of his Mac or did he download the wrong version of the app?

3D objects are available in both LXFree and LXBeams. There are two ways to create them, either draw a 2D object and use the Format->Convert->To 3D command. Or, set the tools to 3D mode and draw them directly. This is accomplished using Format->Tool->Draw 3D objects. In either case, it is necessary to enter starting and ending values height (or z dimension) values in the measurement tab of the inspector. For objects to render correctly, the Start Z value should always be greater than the End Z value.

Just a note, the latest build 2.1.10 (6615) adds a contextual menu to the tools palette. If you secondary-click a button in the tools, it will popup a menu that has the tool options that are found in the Format->Tool submenu.
The method you use for the secondary-click, control-click/right-click/two finger-tap depends on your mouse or trackpad and how it is configured.
