# Objective
- Implement an arc3d API for gizmos
- Solves #11536
## Solution
### `arc_3d`
- The current `arc3d` method on gizmos only takes an angle
- It draws an "standard arc" by default, this is an arc starting at
`Vec3::X`, in the XZ plane, in counter clockwise direction with a normal
that is facing up
- The "standard arc" can be customized with the usual gizmo builder
pattern. This way you'll be able to draw arbitrary arcs
### `short/long_arc_3d_between`
- Given `center`, `from`, `to` draws an arc between `from` and `to`
