Hi,
for Geologists to use available topography data (ex
SRTM)
along with geology maps, in a 3D visualisation helps.
In GRASS NVIZ can drape any existing map with a DEM.
If digitization is possible in the same window/screen,
then geologists can pick further details depending on
the 3D visualisation.

What I'd like to see in the new wxPython GUI is nviz using the same display
frame as regular maps. "NVIZ" as an interface would then be a separate 3D
toolbox that pops up.
However, I suspect that digitizing in a 3D environment is a more complicated
beast to manage. It's not just tracing in 2D over a 3D display. That might
be fairly easy, but is not what you want.
For now, possibly an intermediate step would be to create a shaded relief
map and digitize on top of that. This is doable now in TclTk and soon in
wxPython.
