I think we could rotate that cube slightly,so there is one face that is more frontal than the other, what do you think?
This cube is confusing.

That is easy enough, and is closer to what was there before. I'll try to have something by the end of the week.yorik wrote:I think we could rotate that cube slightly,so there is one face that is more frontal than the other, what do you think?
Nice!yorik wrote:There is also another problem I think: The different view icons (front, top, left, right, etc), are now fully isometric. This makes it hard to know which one is "front" and which one is "right side"...

How's this?yorik wrote:I think we could rotate that cube slightly,so there is one face that is more frontal than the other, what do you think?
It's better, but instead of a cube maybe you could use a rectangular cuboid?agryson wrote:How's this?
I turned the view icons to more clearly indicate front/left etc.
For axonometric view, you could use the rectangular cuboid from TechDraw WBagryson wrote:For the wireframe, shaded, axonometric etc, I left as they were since there was no issue of left/front.
Perfect!agryson wrote:How's this?

Great, PR submitted.yorik wrote:I liked more these cubes than the cuboid actually... The cube seems more "neutral" than the cuboid which seems to refer to a shape to me... So cube woudl mean view, cuboid would mean shape... Don't know if that makes any sense...
I love this idea. The addition of the sphere makes the wireframe mode much more explicit. This would render any documentation incompatible however - where are we on pinning a date on 0.17? Last I heard we were waiting on the massive work of assembly / new part design.jidoeuf wrote:To avoid confusing view rotations and draw styles, I think we should have a different set of icons for draw styles.
Here is an example for wireframe and flat lines:

Yeah, there's some pretty major changes... I'll hang around the wiki a bit more and see what's going on in the sandboxes.sgrogan wrote: I don't have a suggestion for a solution though. The changes in 0.17 are going to be drastic.
Agreed on the first part.sgrogan wrote:To think that a feature freeze of a few weeks before the 0.17 release will allow the documentation to catch up seems unrealistic. I don't have a suggestion for a solution though.
