3D settings

Purpose

The 3D Settings function saves automatic detection and tracing settings for soma, trees, spines, varicosities, and puncta, as well as automatic spine classification settings. You can save settings separately for each object type (e.g., settings for automatic soma detection only), or save the settings together (e.g., settings for automatic soma tracing and automatic tree detection).
