The 3D Effects toolbar

There should be some text to show what application that each toolbar belongs too.  I had to find the swipe tool, to determine this fact.  It would be nice to just have some sort of bold text stating this:

ArcGlobe:


ArcScene:

Hi Ted,

Agreed, its not boldly obvious, but the content does state ArcGlobe and ArcScene in the order that the toolbars appear respectively. As well there is tool tip help so if you hover your pointer over the graphics, each toolbar is labelled as either the ArcGlobe 3D Effects toolbar, or the ArcScene 3D Effects toolbar.
The pointer tip help is true for all graphics. Its like a little pop-up caption.

Thanks,
Karen

Hi Ted,

I just updated this topic today with your request.  There are now headings above each toolbar.

Thanks for the suggestion!

When should you edit inside a 3D view?

Simple edits that you noticed while in the 3D view (such as editing attributesor moving points)

Should be:

3D Editor toolbar drop-down menu options

Is the Save Edits suppose to have a hyperlink?

BTW, I like the graphic detailing what can be used with each tool, on the 3D editing toolbar dropdown, this took some time to make this little graphic.

For the The 3D Editor toolbar tools

Edit Placement Tool and Edit Vertices do not have hyperlinks, too.

It would be nice to have a page in the editing section for just Editing Shortcut Keys in relation to 3D Editing, something that we can get to quickly, I see the shortcuts in the doc, but they are a part of the read, and sometimes, you just want to see a list, perhaps there is a doc, and I just haven't found it yet, the day is still early.

The snapping properties allow you to specify what part of the feature ( vertex, edge, or endpoint) you want your new feature to snap to

Space between "(" vertex, also sentence ends in to.
