Using the 3D User-Defined Position Editor in Wwise 2019.1.1

Question

I'm currently going through the Wwise tutorial, and for lesson 4, it's asking me to use the Position Editor in ways that the current version of Wwise cannot. It's asking me to, "choose the Shotgun Shells object and in the Property Editor select the Positioning tab. Change 2D to 3D, then select User-defined radio button in the Position Source area." I am unable to, in Wwise 2019.1.1, change 2D to 3D, nor perform any other actions the instructions are telling me. Are these instructions outdated, or am I missing something in Wwise?

Hi

User-Defined position was changed in 2018, here's a blog entry explaining the changes that were made. I hope this answer isn't too late or that at least helps someone else that might be confused.
