"In[473]:ExpandZ[g_,ratio_]:
g/.Polygon[pts_]:>Polygon[{#[[1]],#[[2]],#[[3]]*ratio}& /@pts];"
There are a couple of "=" signs missing; not sure what you're seeing at
your machine.
This works at mine:
Clear[expandZ]
expandZ[g_, ratio_] :=
g /. Polygon[pts_] :>
Polygon[{#[[1]], #[[2]], #[[3]]*ratio} & /@ pts];
But I prefer
Clear[expandZ]
expandZ[g_, ratio_] :=
g /. Polygon[pts_] :>
Polygon[pts.{{1, 0, 0}, {0, 1, 0}, {0, 0, ratio}}];
