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
