Expand appearance turns 3D object into image instead of path

Hi,

So I have a text that I turned into outlines and added 3D bevel&extrude effect. Before exporting it to SVG I wanted to turn the new 3D object into a shape but expand appearance created an image instead. What am I doing wrong?

Correct answer Ton Frederiks

You are using the new 3D and Materials effect, which results in an image (or non native art) after expanding.

Try the classic 3D for vector output.
