```julia
using Plots
Plots.mesh3d([1,2,2,1],[1,1,1,1],[1,1,2,2],
    connections=[(1,2,3,4)],
    linecolor=:black)

```

```julia
Plots.mesh3d!([1,2,2,1],[1.1,1.1,1.1,1.1],[1,1,2,2],
    connections=[(1,2,3,4)],
    linecolor=:black)

```

Despite my research, I cannot find a way to have the orange square behind the blue one as we would see them in perspective. Plotting every shape in a single `Plots.meshd3d()` line of code does not solve the problem (that means, without the additional `Plots.mesh3d!()`)

Changing the order in which I plot the shapes is not a solution, as I have to plot complicated details with a lot of shapes.
