Remarks
The LayoutDirection property can be used together with the SimpleDiagram3D.Dimension property to adjust the layout of more than one 3D pie chart within a diagram. Depending upon the LayoutDirection property’s setting, pie charts are positioned in lines either horizontally (by rows) or vertically (by columns). The SimpleDiagram3D.Dimension property specifies how many pie charts can be displayed within one row or column.

Note that a pie chart(s) that is displayed within an incomplete row or column automatically changes its size, trying to occupy all the available free space.
