I want to remove the zticks of a 3D plot, and I found an option `zticksvisible` of `Axis3` in the manual [[here](https://docs.makie.org/stable/examples/blocks/axis3/#zticksvisible)] but it doesn’t work. It only removes the tick marks but the numbers still there. Codes and results are as follow

```julia
using CairoMakie
x=LinRange(1,15,100)
z=broadcast((x,y)->cos(x)*sin(y), x, x')
fig,_,_=surface(x,x,z; axis=(;type=Axis3))
surface(fig[1,2],x,x,z; axis=(;type=Axis3, zticksvisible=false))
fig

```

how to fix it?

There’s also `zticklabelsvisible`

I read that section many times and tried `zlabelvisible`, `zticksvisible`, `zgridvisible`…, but still missed the correct one 😂, thanks a lot!
