You can add the graphics objects manually (as expressions). Alternatively you could convert the 3D plot to a 2D plot and add 2D annotations. In Mathematica 5.2 it used to be possible to convert a 3D graphics to 2D by wrapping the Graphics3D object in Graphics, but this does not seem to work any more in Mathematica 6 ... However, you can still use Inset[] to put images of 3D objects in 2D graphics. See tutorial/InsettingObjectsInGraphics in the Help Browser. -- Szabolcs
