Subject: Swapping a Shape Layer for a Solid

Hello all,

I've done a 3D flythrough of a bunch of same-sized comps holding a whole
bunch of video and still content. I have about six of these in the project
and they all fly differently.

This was all done with Trapcode Echospace.

Now the client wants all these comps to look more "3D" and have an extruded
edge.

I just upgraded to AE6, but have not had too much time to fiddle with it. I
was hoping you could extrude a Comp or a Solid, but I guess it's only Shape
Layers and Text.

I've been able to easily swap solids where all the comps were, but I was
wondering if there was a way to easily replace a specific sized solid, with
the same sized shape layer?

Or... Anyone have any other trick for making a bunch of flat 3D layers look
extruded?

Thanks in advance
