I want to make a 3D and ad symbols, but how?

They have not changed it.

Strokes make your artwork far too complex and cause overlaps in sharp corners (which then causes even more issues).

Strokes are only sometimes useful when you create 3D objects from open paths such as a bottle or a vase. So the finished objects are also open.

Strokes have always been an issue in the 3D effects on several levels

Excuse me, I don't understand: why you need a stroke in your shape to revolve? Can't you use only fill color?

This is the test that I described in the previous post. Just fill color. I got 7 surfaces and when I apply the symbol it works.

Your dialog box looks like you have a stroke and a fill on the base shape.

Can you try without a stroke, just apply a fill to the base shape?

No, you haven't applied it to the inside. Your object doesn't have an inside.

So you must have run into a bug. So far I have only seen this on extruded shapes, not rotated ones.

Have you by any chance applied any other effect to the shape?

Can you create a different symbol with some simple shapes and upload the Illustrator file somewhere? I would definitely like to examine this. Thank you.
