That's just some of the ideas. The main point of my proposal is, let's do the fundamentals right, before we do any eyecandy. And in the world of 3D, a basic 3D box is as fundamental as you can get. Everything else stems from it or can be defined by it.
Yes, makes sense. Perhaps Corel's Technical Designer has what you are describing. I have a copy but it is not yet installed. Here are some links about it with screenshots - let me know if you think this could be closer to what you picture (since pictures are worth a thousand words and all that). Just want to be sure I can get a good feel for what you are describing in text.

DRAW is the base of Corel Technical Designer, so I have to assume (possibly incorrectly) that what you are talking about is possible. I can't quite picture what you mean exactly though, so maybe if you can attach a quick sketch I can see what you mean?
This should make clear what I was talking about: http://www.khulsey.com/perspective_basics.html
