Good Day Ladies and Gents.  I am new to AE, attempting to make text 3d.  However, the Geometry Options function is not visible at all and I went through the settings for Composition (i.e., 4D cinema).  Please help.

    Nothing wrong with the screenshot - the only options for a Solid layer are showing. Extrude is only available on Shape and Text layers.

    If you made a layer 3D and you press the "a" key twice, and no material options showed up then you need to restart AE and then trash the preferences. There is no option to hide the Layer Name column in the timeline and that is where Material Options will be found. If you see material options and there are no options to extrude or bend a layer then the layer type does not support material options. Show us a screenshot and give us a detailed workflow description if you can't figure it out.

        Hi there,

        Thanks for reaching out. Please make sure that you have enabled 3D Layer button for the text layer as shown in the screenshot.

         

        Let us know if that helps.

        Thanks,

          Without some more specific info on your comp settings, what kind of layer, fonts/ shapes used and so on this isn't really going anywhere.
