Describe the bug or issue that you're seeing. Hello, this not a bug report, but rather, kind of missing feature. At work we use Android Studio Giraffe and the 3d inspection of layouts is extremely useful. For private purpose, at home, I just installed Android Studio Koala and created a default project. I started it in a VM and wanted to inspect the layout and there I see there is no 3d view. The documentation here mentions "3d mode", but it is not present in the version I have. https://developer.android.com/studio/debug/layout-inspector#rotate-layout

So my feedback is : please reactivate a 3d mode in future version, it is extremely useful to see the hierarchy at runtime.

I realised while closing Android Studio that it indeed opened tabs from the layout imports with 3d view available.
It was not obvious that new tabs opened, so you should rather make it more obvious.
That said, having the 3d view available while the app is running, is still extremely useful.
