Transfering a logo from AE to C4D Lite

I'm trying to animate a logo in C4D Lite. I imported the logo on AE, converted it to shapes, made all the layers 3D, and exported the scene to C4D.
I don't know why some shapes extrude forward and others backward. I don't understand why and don't know how to fix it.
Can someone explain to me what is happening?

I´m sending a screenshot so you can understand what is happening.

It's hard to say what is going on without seeing the comp you exported. We need to see what is going on with the layers (press 'uu'). I suspect some of the groups created when you converted the Vector layer to a shape layer got a little convoluted.

If I faced that problem, I would return to Illustrator and put every shape on a separate layer, import it as a composition retaining layer size, convert all layers to Shape layers, delete the original Vector (AI) layers, and make all the layers 3D, add a camera with a 50 MM lens, and maybe some ambient light and a point light. Export the comp to C4D and give that a try.

Any time I plan on animating a shape created in Illustrator, I put it on a separate layer. Any object I plan to convert to a Shape Layer in After Effects is always on its own layer.
