See 3D Effects While You're Applying Them

You may not have even noticed this one but when you change settings in the 3D effects dialogs, the settings aren't rendered to the screen until you take your finger off the mouse button. This makes it difficult to see what various settings look like as you're applying them. To get around this, hold down the Shift key as you modify a 3D graphic, and the view on screen will be re-rendered each time you move the setting.
