Extrude & Bevel vs. Extrude & Bevel Classic - expanding and ungrouping
Hi!
I'm taking an online course in illustrator and in one lesson the teacher (using CC) guided us through the process of working with text in 3d.
He wrote a word, then made a compound shape of it and expanded it.
Later, he applied the Extrude & Bevel effect, and then expanded the appearance.
Finally, he ungrouped the word.
The result was the word was now in 3d, and every side of each letter was independent and could be edited individually.
I went through the whole process step by step, with Illustrator 2022. However, I did not get the same result with the new Extrude & Bevel effect. After applying the effect, I expanded the appearance and everything became one object, and ungrouping it did nothing. Looking around in the forums here, I realized there was the "Classic" Extrude & Bevel option, so I tried that instead, and it provided the desired result.
My questions are: why doesn't it work with the new 2022 effect?
And, is there a way to get that result using the 2022 effect?
Thanks!!!!
