The modell to turn (from classic mode) is missing!!!

- solid fill with wire frame would be nice (as opposed to full x-ray with wireframe)
- taper (draft) both towards and away
- smarter conversion to wireframe (for graphics)

Incorporation of classic extrude is needed. The new 3D does not expand the shapes into separate elements like it used to. I can no longer create simple things like isometric objects and expand them so that I can modify things like colour. The only option I get when I expand appearance is a useless wireframe. Yes, it can be done through the Classic 3D option but why not just have one feature that is working well. Seriously Adobe.

Can't rotate multiple 3d objects together where the alignment stays correct - they tend to skew and you have to do it one by one but its very tedious

Bonjour,
Peut-on masquer l'arrière plan lorsqu'on est en "Géométrie invisible" ?
Peut-on faire varier la transparence d'un graphisme importer sur un objet 3D ? Merci

Very nice features.

I am getting ghost lines in my graphic in vector mode, that are not part of my design. They stay there when exporting as either image or PDF.

I've tried playing with essentially all render and raster settings within the 3D & Materials tab, and I'm stumped.

I don't know what information I need to provide to be useful as reporting an issue, but this is a fairly debilitating issue for me. Kind of breaks the whole process if it starts drawing random extra lines around the image.

hi,
I don't have the properties panel.. :( and the lighting panel is not active
I have the newest version of Illustrator

Paul, not for the modern 3D, only for the classic one.
I encourage you to create a separate request for this.

Didn't there used to be a no shadows, no lighting no shading option?

Thank you so much for help!

Maria, there are two options to workaround this.
1. With the extruded object selected, in 3D and Materials panel, click the down arrow button in the top right corner to open Render Settings. Enable 'Render as vector' option and hit Render. This, however, will bake the shading into triangular mesh objects, which you can’t edit with Ai’s tools. The lines though will be available.
2. Instead of modern 3D use the Classic 3D, accessible through Effect > 3d and Materials > 3D (Classic) menu. These generate vector art always, but do not support modern materials and freely applied decals (but support surface mapping).

Hi! Can someone help me? I wanted to create a coin using 3d effect and expand it to vector to continue working on it. But, when I use function "Expand Appearance" it created an image ;( How can I fix this?

@Duy Lê Khánh, at the moment Illustrator does not allow to change initial values for the default material.
What you can do is to tweak them the way you want and then save the effect altogether as a graphic style using Graphic Styles panel.
This also saves the type of 3D operation, depth, rotation, perspective, and all other values... but also the material. There is no way to separate them for now to keep as partial presets.

How to save the Material Roughness and metallic by default?

Il Pannello di Illuminazione 3d non funziona, è spento!

Please reintroduce the ability to apply separate colour/material to the extrusion part of a shape. There are multiple examples where such a feature would immensely help recreating real world objects. For example: laser cut plywood (burned edges), any cut object with painted surface etc. etc. etc.

My text disappears when I apply any 3d effect...just becomes a bounding box with the circle thing in the middle. What's the deal?

Thank you Egor that was very helpful :)
