3D function plot won't update when change axis range

If we click Insert > Function Plot menu to add 3d plot, 3D function plot won't update when change axis range. But no such problem if use File > New > Function Plot > 3D Function Plot menu.

It is not wrong. The two menus create different kinds of function plot, so behaves differently.
To reduce confusion, we can change "Insert > Function Plot" to call a same code as "New > Function Plot > 3D Function Plot" when the active graph is 3D (2D should not touch).
