Title: BRL-CAD Alternative GUI 8.2a: Make a Concept for Improving the Projection Setting
Description: As result of previous BRL-CAD Alternative GUI tasks a reference version of an alternative BRL-CAD GUI was created and submitted to the rt^3 branch of the BRL-CAD subversion repository. This task is about improving QtGUI.

As a prerequisite for this task you should have fulfilled the following steps:
* Compile and install BRL-CAD
* Download the rt^3 source tree (see https://brlcad.org/wiki/SVN)
* Set up the build environment by using the top level CMakeLists.txt file
* Build the QtGUI target
* Run the QtGUI program and test it

What the user can put into the "Projection Settings" at the moment is from the mathematical viewpoint correct, but for many geometries highly impractical.  For example, try to rotate the havoc with it.  To perform this task write down a concept on how to improve the user experience there.

When you are done, please submit a document with your concept.
