5. Common Issues & Fixes

| Problem | Likely Fix | |---------|-------------| | Extrusion not visible | Ensure layer is 3D (toggle 3D switch). | | No lighting | Add at least one light (Spot or Point). | | Performance slow | Reduce extrusion depth or bevel complexity. | | Plugin not found | Check installation path: Adobe After Effects/Plug-ins/ |

• Extrude Depth – Set how far it extends.
• Bevel Style/Depth – Round or sharp edges.
• Front/Side/Bevel Colors – Customize each face.
