Roll it

Make sure the Interact tool is selected in the right-side toolbar (the cursor icon at the top). Click the die on the table. The Actions Dock appears at the bottom of the screen with buttons for everything you can do with this die.

Click Roll. The die animates a 3D roll and lands on a random face. Try it a few times.
