straighten Surfaces are typically top-level fixtures,
though they can be attached to shelvesRacks.
Surfaces are typically used when widgetsProduct Positions must account for depthwise placement -- for example, arranging folded clothes on
a table fixture, or various frozen food arranged in a coffin case. If depth is
not relevant, it’s usually better to use a crop_16_9Shelf.
Unlike other fixtures, Surfaces can be viewed Topdown (most common), or
in Front View
