+*******************
+Element Diameter 3D
+*******************
+
+This quality control criterion consists in calculation of the maximal length of edges and diagonals of 3D mesh elements (tetrahedrons, pyramids, etc). For polyhedra the value is always zero. 
+
+**To apply the Element Diameter 3D quality criterion to your mesh:**
+
+#. Display your mesh in the viewer. 
+#. Choose **Controls > Volume Controls > Element Diameter 3D** or click **"Element Diameter 3D"** button in the toolbar.

+
+       .. centered::
+               **"Element Diameter 3D" button**
+
+       Your mesh will be displayed in the viewer with its elements colored according to the applied mesh quality control criterion:
