In order to exaggerate Z-axis, you have to go three steps:

1. Apply “ **Transform** ” filter to your data which you want to exaggerate Z-axis

2. At the properties panel of _Transform filter_, you change the scale of Z-axis

3. At the same properties panel, go down to **Axes Grid** , click **Edit** to open **Edit window** (note: click **Edit** at **Axes Grid** , not **Data Axes Grid** )

In **Edit window** , go down to section: **Data Transform**. At this section, you have to change the scale of Z-axis again with the same value as the value you applied at the second step.

If you do not see the section **Data Transform** , click the cog wheel at the top right corner, it will appear.
