BRING BACK THE 3D PAGE INSPECTOR YOU COWARDS
@Meyerweb I wonder if you could roughly replicate this using a transform rotate/skew on the page and then translateZ forward on every div
@tomw I’ve actually tried this and it’s not nearly as clear, because the elements don’t have sides so they don’t stack up like boxes. It’s just a bunch of panes floating in space. And, at least at the time I tried, adding dummy elements to every element to rotate them into being box-sides was… let’s call it “computationally taxing”.
@Meyerweb Interesting - I hadn't considered before that we can move elements on the z-axis but have no way to set a z-thickness for them
@tomw Like with most things, it’s hardly ever a problem, until it suddenly is.
@Meyerweb @tomw you can only see 2 sides of each box, so you could use ::before and ::after. That is, if you accept completely wiping away any existing ::before/::after content on the page
@jkjustjoshing @tomw And also can figure out which two sides are in view so you can push the pseudos to the correct spot. Sounds suspiciously like math to me.

@Meyerweb @tomw 😆

If you change the view to an isometric projection, it’s a single global calculation and the result is the same for all boxes on the screen
