Hi Roger,
Actually this is documented in the Epilog help page:
"In three-dimensional graphics, two-dimensional graphics primitives
can be specified by the Epilog option. The graphics primitives are
rendered in a 0,1 coordinate system. "
Translation: Epilog needs 2D Graphics primitives and not the 3D you
are providing it with.
If you want to inclued an additional 3D point you could simply use
Show to combine the plot and a separate Graphics:
Show[
ListPointPlot3D[
ReplacePart[
Partition[Range[100],
10], {{3, 3} -> None, {5, 7} -> I, {8, 4} ->
Missing["NotAvailable"]}], PlotStyle -> PointSize[Large]],
Graphics3D[Point[{6, 6, 50}]]]
wrt to q1: you can't do a Graphics3D of a Graphics3D...
Cheers -- Sjoerd
