If you right click on the 3d plot after it is made you can sort of add
in the axes. I say 'sort of' because they have never actually lined up
right where they are supposed to be. They go through the middle(ish)
of the box, but the x-y plane is displaced (for me) in the positive z
direction. You can look for yourself - right click, then click on
style, and check the 'axes' box.
So it's not perfect, but for me is quite a help at keeping oriented
with what is where when I'm looking at it. Though I'm not sure if it's
good enough for you needs.
