The current 'feature' of showing the three planes on new part without entering sketch mode can be very confusing, especially with zoom

Updated description and title as discussed live @franknoirot

A mockup of some more specially-styled default planes can be seen here in Figma, with an exported image below. For the teammate that picks this up, this will require a bit of checking with engine for how to get the text annotations (I believe we have the ability to do at least some light version of the mockup). Here are the requirements:

  1. The planes remain the same (small) scale no matter how the user zooms. We need to do away with the "scale jump" that occurs with these planes when zooming in or out
  2. The planes should have some text annotating them in opposite corners, one with the colloquial name and the other with the mathematical one. We do not need to annotate the back faces, those are implied by seeing reversed text annotations.
