I don't believe you can do a simple swap since parametric objects like shape layers and text don't have any source in the project window. I'm often in the frustrating position of trying to replace parametric objects with footage or other elements and AE refuses because something about 'objects don't have a source.' Grrr.
Anyhow, If you only have a few of them, you might simply create your shape layer, parent it to your comp layer, and then hide that comp layer.( I think if you hold down a modifier key while parenting you might get some different transform options.) Another idea might be to drop your shape layer INSIDE your comp and then click Collapse Transformations.

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
