As far as the 3D what you do is make the 3D object and you use it as a Design you can later use the 3D effect to change the 3D settings and rebuild with the modified 3D object.

Or you can select just the elements of the graph you want the 3D effect to be applied to make that so and when changing or updating the data you reapply the 3D effect to those elements.

It would be nice if the later were linked to the data.

It has been noted here before that the need to customize charts were a much need feature and a much used feature that would draw a lot of users like to upgrade and adding newer and newer features to graphs and integrating it with ID and Photoshop and Dreamweaver as smart objects and PPro and AE as dynamic links were very important, but as of yet it has not happened. I think Mordy was one of the first to point out the inadequacies many versions ago.

Hopefully the next version might finally see something happen. Especially if the charts and graph feature could be animated and work in a real 3D space.
