Menu Commands
In principle, all menu commands that are not grayed out can be applied to 3D data. When working in 3D mode in particular, you will find the Projection and Display commands in the Window menu and the 3D Options dialog box under the Preferences command in the Edit menu
These menu commands, their settings, and selection options are described in separate topics. Information on the different functions of certain menu commands when used in 3D mode can be found in the topics that deal with those commands.
Tools from the Toolbox
As you can see, most of the tools are grayed out and unavailable in 3D mode. The
Arrow tool and the three transformation tools,
Rotation,
Reflection, and
Scale, are available for editing 3D data.
You can find descriptions on how these tools are used in 3D mode in the topics devoted to the individual tools, located after the descriptions of their usage outside 3D mode.
