The operation cannot complete because there isn’t enough memory (RAM) available

[joshuak18693378]

This message keeps popping up after I try to apply the 3D effects on a project I'm working on. It's followed by another prompt that reads "There is not enough memory available to process the appearance of an object". I've tried resetting my preferences and updating to the latest version and I have 7.84 G Usable of my 8 G RAM on my PC.

8 GB RAM is on the low end of what is recommended. Actually it's just barely the minimum.

3D effects can make an object very complex.

Hi Joshua,

We're sorry to hear about this. I agree with Monika here. Please check out help article to know system requirements of Adobe Illustrator.

Hope it helps.
