Abstract
The subject matter of this specification can be implemented in, among other things, a method to display a graphical user interface (GUI) of an application, display, on the GUI, a projection of a three-dimensional object onto a projection plane, receive a selection of a first region of the object, obtain a geometric information related to the first region, wherein the geometric information comprises at least one of a geometric relationship of the first region to a second region of the object or an identification of a shape belonging to the first region, determine, based on the geometric information, a spatial orientation of the first region of the object relative to the projection plane, and display, on the GUI, an indication of the spatial orientation of the first region.
