    Default 3D Bevel and Extrude Question

    I have an object with -43, -45, 32 rotation, and a 192 pt extrude on it.
    However, the extruded area is all black. I'd like to have illustrator just
    draw the lines to show the geometry of the new shape, but not shade the
    sides differently. I currently have it set to no shading and it still does
    this black thing. If someone could please help, it'd be much appreciated.

    Not an expert by any means, but when you create the 3d, select the More Options button. This will bring up an option named "Surface" with a pulldown menu. If you select "Wireframe" you should get just the geometry you want. This is for Illustrator CS4, but probably holds for other versions as well.
