## Adding Axes

By default, surfaces are displayed with X, Y and Z axes. The display of these axes is controlled by property sheets for the axes container and for individual axes (see Axes). Additional X, Y or Z axes can be added to a surface visualization to make it easier to identify surface characteristics.

To add an axis to your surface visualization:

1. Select the surface.

2. Select Insert Axis.

3. Choose from the following options:

- X axis

- Y axis

- Z axis

Use the mouse to position the new axis, and double-click the axis to display the axis property sheet.

For more information on adding axes, see Additional Axes.
