It's been a while since I've worked with AC7 so I need a quick memory refresher.
By default, the 2D hotspots show up in the 3D view. If I'm not mistaken, all it takes is a HOTSPOT x,y,z command in the 3D script to over-ride this yes?
These 2D hotsposts showing up in 3D is really annoying when you have sloped members.
