Edit Tool in 3D

Most 3D objects do not have nodes to edit. The exceptions are Box, Cone, Sphere, Hemisphere, Revolve, and Extrude. These objects have limited nodes that can be used only for scaling and orientation. These nodes are lost once Boolean operations are performed.Editing nodes of 3D objects works the same way as for 2D objects (See Edit Tool). The main difference is that nodes can be moved anywhere in 3D space. Also, 3D nodes cannot be added or deleted from objects themselves (though they can be added or deleted while node editing profiles). 
While node editing is limited, if possible at all, for most 3D solids, you can node edit an exploded surface object.You can change a solid object to a TurboCAD LTE (non-ACIS) surface object via the 3D page of its Properties window. Explode the surface so that it can be node edited.
Tip: You can explode a solid object twice to turn it into an exploded (node editable) surface object.
