Okay, create a 4D view of your tool that you want to add into the pendant in your cell browser tree in roboguide. Once you created that double click on it to open and click on the help button in 4D edit window and from there you will get the instructions to load your file into the pendant.
Just follow the roboguide.
I do this for some of my customers. The 4D edit help menu goes over it pretty nicely.
Some things to note:
Try to keep your cad models as light as possible. Too much, and the 4D display runs at like 1 fps.
Also, keep your cad names short (30 chars or less). Too long of a name will break your ability to backup the robot.
I had a 100 character name that was loaded onto the robot, but was then considered invalid by the robot's file system, so anytime it got to saving that cad file, the backup would just die. Then getting that file off of the robot was a real pain. I ended up having to mount an image backup in windows, delete it the bad cad file, then reload the image to the robot.

It is a special menu on pendant that shows you 3D enviroment of controller (robot positions, DCS zones etc). I believe it is a Option R764 "4D Graphics" nad if you have it installed you should see it in "Menu 2 > 4D Graphics". Hope That Helps you.
