how would you draw a 3d circuit in 2d

OK, maybe not the cleanest solution e'er, just I've written all circuit elements by hand at present and applied some hacking to get the correct planes to draw on. The effect:

Drawing the lesser and meridian elements was non that difficult, just performing some coordinate calculations. The top-to-bottom elements R8, R9 and R7 were piece of cake too, as they lie on the xz plane so I could use canvas is xz plane at y=0. For the two other top-bottom planes I drew a helper line perpendicular to the connections and manually inverse the x=<> value in a scope environment (with z=(0,1)) so that the x-centrality lies on the perpendicular line. When I matched both, I could depict on xz aeroplane and got my resistors right. It's inexact, but worked. I believe the code is way to hack-y to mail equally an case.
