Jens,

I bet that you will become expert in documentation reading:
Please see the theta and alpha plot3d() options:
https://help.scilab.org/docs/6.0.0/en_US/plot3d.html

Nevertheless, i agree that the present plot3d() behavior is bugged in 2 
ways:

 1. if the current axes has already some rotation_angles clearly set to
    a 3D view (= at least one of both azimuth and polar angles not being
    a multiple of 90), plot3d()  should not reset them to some default
    rotation_angles values, but use the current axes without reorienting it.

 2. plot3d() default rotation_angles values should be taken from gda().
    It is presently not the case. There is no reason to use gda() /
    sda() only for 2D plots.
