Question

Selecting a particular object when using 3D Extrude

Hey!

 

I wonder if it's possible to select a particular object when applying the 3D Extrude effect to an entire group. I had to apply the Extrude effect to a group of objects (all various boxes on the screenshot grouped together) as otherwise the 3D-generated structure isn't kept intact.

 

I would like to increase the depth of the green box indicated by the red arrow (make it appear like it's higher, protrudes a bit over the gray box)., but due to the grouping I'm not able to adjust the effect parameters of particular objects (when I select a particular object with the direct selection tool, the 3D and Materials menu doesn't show up).

 

Is there a way to do this?

 

Thanks

You have to click on the object until you isolate it or open layers and click on target (circle) of your object to select it.

Thanks for the reply! Unfortunatelly, it's the same as before -- there's no "3D and Materials" effect under fx to click on

(so it's either edit effect settings for all objects in the group or no option at all)
