14+1 rules.
If a 2D/3D model does not produce a gain of insight into the underlying information - it should be considered worthless.

* A graphic […] is a moment in the process of decision making informative modelling informative
Quality and efficiency of graphics can be evaluated
3D graphics tend to be verbose and puzzling
Non-verbal thinking eludes many traps (language)
Inspiration has to be captured wherever it hides
