Maybe as a toggle?
seems a bit complicated... let's try like this! if this is not useful we can go back to old classical dip symbols.
I love that! I would prefer more contrast between the ellipse and the lines, but that's a minor issue. I agree with @andrea-bistacchi—let's keep it and see how/if that improves the perception of the attitude.
In any case there are several problems with dip symbols. Detailed testing is needed.
We discussed and proposed to change the symbol to a square instead of a circle to see if the visualization improves. However we also talked about the difficulties of understanding the polarity of the measurement with the 3D symbol. How would you indicate polarity? I proposed to add a third short segment perpendicular to the gliph however it may compicate the visualization. Let us know!
We are in no hurry to change them. Examples for symbols can be found in:
After some refactoring in 2D views, the same dip symbols are used everywhere. This is a bit strange when seen the first time, but it could deliver the additional information of obliquity of a plane with respect to cross section. Could we keep this "strange but informative" visualization?
Please give your opinion!
