The exact same 3D effects can be applied to graphs (fever lines, pie, bar, etc.) after being created with the graphing tool. Can you show how to create the same type of bar chart with the graphing tool using actual data? -- and then apply the 3D effects? Thanks.

Thanks, P.S Besides my little issue great tut!

Must be in CKMY mode. I used the web color for the swatches, No big deal I made a new graident in the colors I wanted so I got the same effect just the long way around. Thanks Corey.

I will definitely skip that overlay step if I'm illustrating in CMYK. To create those bars from large to small, he used a shortcut found in the object menu under blend called "Make." Make sure you have the bars selected to make it blend of course. If I'm creating hundreds of graphs, WARNING - don't do these manually like he did in the demo. Clients change these graphs like crazy unless you have tons of production help.
