Force Projection onto a Spatial Member Axis

Force elevation, force azimuth, and all three member-axis coordinates participate in both the calculation and the rendered geometry.

Idealization

Right-handed Cartesian axes and SI force units; vector direction and sign are explicit.

Acceptance check

Reconstruct the vector or projection and check the component residual.
