The "3D" tools are only relevant when working with 3D windows. They will have no effect on the 2D windows.

 

They include:

 

·Background

This tool is used to control the color of the 3D window background.

 

·Lights

This tool is used to control the lightning of the 3D geometries.

 

·Overlays

This tool is used to display 3D graphic objects such as axis systems or bounding boxes around the geometries..

 

·Shading

This tool is used to control how the 3D geometries are represented

 

·Slices

This tool is used too display the 2D frames in  3D space.

 

·Transform

This tool is used to modify the "transformation Matrix". It enables you to  position a camera and manipulate the 3D objects with the mouse.
