Illustrator CS2 Killer Tips

You can make any of the 3D effects part of a graphic style, but you'll need to do one extra step if you want the color to be part of the style. Apply the 3D effect to your object by selecting it and choosing a command from the Effect>3D menu. Then go to the Appearance palette's flyout menu and choose Add New Fill. Even if your object already has a fill indicated, you'll need to add this second fill for it to register as part of the style. Then go the Graphic Style palette and use the flyout menu to choose New Graphic Style. Give your style a name, click OK, and you're set.
