Machine geometry visualisation is on it's side #2

The manual says:

GEOMETRY = XYZABCUVW - Controls the preview and backplot of rotary motion. This item
consists of a sequence of axis letters, optionally preceded by a "-" sign. Only axes defined
in [TRAJ]AXES should be used. This sequence specifies the order in which the effect of each
axis is applied, with a "-" inverting the sense of the rotation. The proper GEOMETRY string
depends on the machine configuration and the kinematics used to control it. The example
string GEOMETRY=XYZBCUVW is for a 5-axis machine where kinematics causes UVW to
move in the coordinate system of the tool and XYZ to move in the coordinate system of the
material. The order of the letters is important, because it expresses the order in which the
different transformations are applied. For example rotating around C then B is different
than rotating around B then C. Geometry has no effect without a rotary axis.

What I want is a visualisation like 'XY;UV' except oriented properly

FOAM = 1

what's with that?

I think the visualisation is pegged with werid visualisation, WONTFIX
