The components you create in the 2D environment display under the parent system name in the 3D Workspace Explorer.
-
Do not delete all the components under the parent system, you must leave at least one component undeleted to see the changes made in the 2D environment. For example, if you delete all the objects under a parent system in the 2D environment, the changes will not be reflected in 3D environment. In a 3D environment, the parent system must always have at least one object.
