That C1 symmetry reconstruction is actually fairly even, just aligned (roughly) against the x-axis rather than the z-axis which is what symmetry aligns against. The reason they look so different is because of the Mercator projection - how the 2D plots distort the view at the “poles” of the map, over-emphasising the sampling spacing. It’s also why I talk about “equatorial/side” and “polar/top” views for projections/particles, although it’s only really applicable to symmetric objects… but it seems to help some students understand more easily.
