The 3D support in AE is very basic until now. What you can do is  
display wireframe models made from pointlists.

eg:

0,0,0
50,0,0
50,50,0
etc.

You can then use AE to display these pointlists as wire frames in 2d  
space, either in 3d or isometric view. You can rotate the model  
around the x,y and z-axes. AE does these calculations very fast. I  
have successfully converted rotator Models for use in Rev. However  
the 3d support in AE is in very early state. I am looking more into  
this area to make using it more pleasant. I just want to point that  
out, to  give an honest opinion what AE could do to help and that you  
don“t expect too much when you are trying it out.

Hope that helps,

Malte
