A few important items to note regarding the 3D editor:
In order to use the 3D editor it requires a separate installation of the software.
The install is fairly large so we kept it out of the main install for sidescan and
subbottom users who are not interested in bathymetry editing.
Once installed it is necessary to tell Perspective where the files were installed.
