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?

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!
