It is also important that after \LPack{pst-3dplot} no package is loaded, which uses the old keyval interface.

+\section{Coordinates and Axes}
\LPack{pst-3dplot} accepts cartesian or spherical coordinates. In both cases there
must be three parameters: \verb+(x,y,z)+ or alternatively ($r$,$\phi$,$\theta$),
-where $r$ is the radius, $phi$ the longitude angle and $\theta$ the lattitude angle.
+where $r$ is the radius, $phi$ the \Index{longitude angle} and $\theta$ the \Index{lattitude angle}.
For the spherical coordinates set the option \Lkeyset{SphericalCoor=true}. Spherical coordinates
are possible for all macros where three dimensional coordinates are expected, except
for the plotting functions (math functions and data records). Maybe that this is also interesting
for someone, then let me know.
+Unlike coordinates in two dimensions, three dimensional coordinates
+may be specified using PostScript code, which need not be preceded by
+\Lnotation{!}. For example, assuming \verb+\def\nA{2}+, (1,0,2) and
+\verb+(90 cos, 100 100 sub, \nA\space 2 div 1 add)+ specify the same point.
+(Recall that a \Lcs{space} is required after a macro that will be
+expanded into PostScript code, as \TeX\ absorbs the space following a
+macro.)
