You should be able to paste the mask pat= h from the source layers to the shape layer. The trick is you need to create= a mask path key frame, copy it, then paste it into the shape layer -> st= roke -> path property. From there you should be able to extrude in 3d.
Another alternative is to create the objects in cinema 4d and bring them in= =A0 through element 3D, if you have the plugin.

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<= BR> 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 a= n 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
