How to copy extrude and bevel effect setting from one object to another? (Illustrator)

I've applied an extrude and bevel effect to an object and customized the effect.

Now I want to use this customized effect on another object so the two objects look the same way.

But I found no easy way to do it. Do I have to redo all the adjustments manually? This is so dumb.

You can use the eyedropper tool. Make sure that all the boxes are checked in its options when you double click the tool before using it. Then select the new object and use the eyedropper to click on the other object that is already 3D.

Alternatively you can create a graphic style.

The eyedropper tool doesn't work for me. 

But creating a graphic style is the answer I'm looking for.

Thank you very much!
