3D Inflate won't render (greyed out)

Hello!

I've been using the 3D inflate option for a while, mainly for designing posters. After the text I've put an example of what I did before - draw a square, insert text and inflate. I did it before and I've also seen tutorials where people did it. But a few days ago when I select the square and the text together - it inflates it but the render option is greyed out. When I click on the text it has the option to render - same with the square, but when I select them both to get the wanted design it's suddenly greyed out. Help please!

Can you please take a screenshot with the complete interface that displays this issue?

Hello - here's the screenshot after I've selected both the text and the shape. Render option is greyed out but when I click on either the text or shape it appears. I've tried creating outlines out of the text to see if it'll work but it doesn't. I used to be able to render it before.

You need to first group those objects, and only then apply the 3D effect. It will then be applied to the group.
