There are several types of 3D Annotations you can select.
You use the elements area to select types of 3D Annotations. For example, when in Mod Anno, you can open the Select tool which will be in 3D Annotations mode, and by clicking Distance on in Elements, you can narrow your selection to distance dimensions. By clicking Distance off you will return to the general selection mode. You can now click another type of 3D Annotation.
