How do you make a 3D pie chart based on image below

This was created using DeltaGraph 7. This is not supported with upcoming Mac OS updates. We need to move on from DeltaGraph. But, not sure how to make a pie chart like this one.

You can use the 3D effects on an Illustrator chart:

How do I get to that, not seeing it

[brianl74528239]

I have the 2021 version

[Doug A Roberts]

Not seeing what? The charts tool?

Or the 3D effects?

3D and Materials

[Doug A Roberts]

In Illustrator 2021 it'll just say '3D' and the options will look different, but you can achieve largely the same effect.

[Doug A Roberts]

Yes, that.

I used Extrude in the first screenshot.

Not sure how to get the slices in the 3 to be at the bottom also in AI-2021, see pic

[Doug A Roberts]

I'm not sure what you mean by 'get the slices in the 3 to be at the bottom'?

This is what I did in AI for a 3D pie chart

The above one is what I trying to create in AI

[Doug A Roberts]

I still don't understand. Is this what you want to create, or what you have created? What exactly are you asking?

[Monika Gause]

You want it black on the outside?

[brianl74528239]

Needs to look like this

[Ton Frederiks]

Remove the stroke before applying the effect.

[brianl74528239]

yes like this

[brianl74528239]

for example

As Ton already wrote: you need to set the stroke to None.

All of those parts are shapes, even when the graph is still live and editable. So you need to select the graph and set the stroke to None: So instead of this in the Color panel (Window > Color)

You need this:

Then apply the 3D effect
