Abstract
Three-dimensional object edit and visualization techniques and systems are described. In a first example, a content navigation control is implemented by a content editing system to aid navigation through a history of how a three-dimensional environment and a three-dimensional object included in the environment is created. In a second example, the content editing system is configured to streamline placement of a three-dimensional object within a three-dimensional environment. The content editing system, for instance, generates a manipulation visualization in support of corresponding editing operations to act as a guide, e.g., as an alignment guide or an option guide. In a third example, the content editing system implements a shadow control that is usable as part of an editing and as a visualization to control rendering of illumination within a three-dimensional environment.
