# Creating Chart Elements Using the Smart Designer

## Content



This section shows how to use the **SmartDesigner** to create and format chart elements, or edit existing elements directly on the form. For example, rather than drilling down through the C1Chart3D's objects in the Properties window to set properties for each of the chart elements you can simply modify the chart elements directly on the form. A simple or complex chart can be created without using any code. It can all be done at design time through the use of C1Chart3D's editors.
