  Stroke a 3D Object

  Posted by Marty Hoedjes on September 23, 2010 at 6:20 pm

  Dear people,

  I have a fairly complex object I extruded. Now I wish to create an outlinealong the edges of the object, like in the example cube below.
  
  Is it possible to automate this in Illustrator, or should I use a 3D program? (And if so, what function should I use. I’m not at all familiar with 3D programs.)
  Any help appreciated.

  Greetings,
  Maarten

  Use Object >> expand appearance,
  then you can individually select shapes and stroke them, and bring them to front if needed, and delete a side by selecting it withe the hollow (direct) selection tool.
