I am trying to use Makie interactively. This means, make a plot, change some values in the repl, make a new plot. The new plot shall only be added to the screen. This doesn’t work for me yet.
Precondition: Add my tiny test package:
```julia
]
add https://github.com/ufechner7/KiteViewer.jl
```
Then type:
```julia
using KiteViewer
rects()
show3d()
```
This displays three rectangles.
If you type now:
```julia
spheres()
```
The scale of the coordinate system changes, but no sphere is displayed.
If you now type
```julia
show3d()
```
The sphere is now displayed, but the complete window is closed and redisplayed.
The code:
```julia
function spheres()
mesh!(Sphere(Point3f0(0), 0.5f0), color = :blue)
nothing
end
show3d()=display(Makie.Screen(), scene)
```
How can I achieve the goal that with the function spheres() the sphere is displayed without redrawing the everything?

Additional question:
I would already be glad if I could move a 3D object like a sphere without redrawing the rest of the scene.
