Unless I minsunderstand the poster's question or the functionality of 
IMSweb's imsExtrudeGraphics, I don't think the latter answer's the former...

I thought imsExtrudeGraphics takes a single 2D graphics and places it in 
a 3D picture or else extrudes it into 3D.

What the poster asked was how to take a whole (finite) series of 2D 
plots and stack them up.  Is it obvious how to use imsExtrudeGraphics to 
accomplish that?
