# 3D Chart End-User Interaction

## Content



Interact with the chart as it is running to examine data more closely or visually isolate a part of the chart. The interactions described here affect the chart displayed inside the ChartArea; other chart elements like the Header are not affected.

The interactivity of the chart is controlled at run time by the [IsInteractive](/componentone/api/win/online-chart3d/dotnet-framework-api/C1.Win.C1Chart3D.4.8/C1.Win.C1Chart3D.Chart3DView.IsInteractive.html) property. The default setting for this property is **True**.
