If you have to pay for it, I would recommend buying a 3D modeling program
like Strata Studio Pro instead. Dimensions works well for simple 3D
manipulation of Illustrator files, but you can do much more with a good
3D modeling program. Doesn't Dimensions come bundled free with
Illustrator? Perhaps they've improved it since I last used it.
