To Create an Actor from a Single Element

Select the Create Actor tool.
(Optional) In the Name field, type a name for the actor.
From the Orientation option menu, select the required axes for movement/rotation/scaling of the actor.
In the manipulation settings section, select the axes along which the actor may move, and/or about which the actor may rotate, or be scaled.
Select the element to be converted to an actor.
A graphic prompt appears (attached to the screen pointer).
Accept the actor (element) at the required origin point.
The origin point will be used as the point about which movement, rotation, and scaling of the actor is calculated during animation.
