3D Effect on Illustrator keeps crashing

Everytime I use the 3D revolve effect on a shape the programme freezes and crashes.

Any suggestions? I've reported it but nothing has changed.

Do you get any error warning when launching Illustrator?

If not, I don't think it's an install issue.

 

But you might try if resetting the preferences helps.

Rename the folder, so you can revert if it doesn't: https://helpx.adobe.com/illustrator/using/setting-preferences.html

Do you get an error message or just a crash?

To get it working again, can you try and reboot the computer?

Then please show us the shape.

That should not be an issue.

Can you try and create a new file and then draw that again?

I've just tried to create a new file and do the same with the 3D effect and it has just crashed again? Should I try to uninstall illustrator then install it again?

Thanks for your help by the way!
