Hi Jeroen,
Yes, this is possible with some sort of hacking.
You can pass parameters to the 3D script with PROJECT2{3}. Set up a parameter to signal that you want a special 3D model that is rotated to the same position as the top view. That way you can get equivalent shadings.
Note those shadings won’t be the actual rgb of the surface, I don’t know of a way of achieving to display that.
2D:
PROJECT2{3} 3, 90, 3, 15, parameters side = 0
PROJECT2{3} 3, 90, 3, 15, parameters side = 1
PROJECT2{3} 3, 90, 3, 15, parameters side = 2
3D:
if side = 1 then rotx 90
if side = 2 then roty -90
