tikz-3dplot causes problems to let operator
I am trying to use the 3d-plot library. The plan is to define some basic 2d coordinates at the beginning and then use them to define all kind of 3d points, using the "let" operator:
documentclass{standalone}
usepackage{tikz}
usepackage{tikz-3dplot}
usetikzlibrary{positioning,calc}
begin{document}
tdplotsetmaincoords{0}{0} %doing nothing for now
begin{tikzpicture}[tdplot_main_coords]
draw[red,->] (0,0,0)--(1,0,0);
draw[red,->] (0,0,0)--(0,1,0); %just for reference
coordinate (A) at (1,1);
draw let p1=(A) in (0,0,0)--(x1,1,0); %this is problematic
draw[green] (1,1,0)--(28.45,1,0);
draw[blue] let p1=(A) in (0,0,0)--(x1,1);
end{tikzpicture}
end{document}
The problem is that the output does not make any sense:
-tikz seems to know how to draw point (1,1,0) (first point of green line).
-tikz seems to know that x1 of (A) equals 1 (blue line).
-tikz somehow multiplies x1 by ~28.45 for no apparent reason, when x1 is used inside 3d coordinates.
(note that experimenting with defining (A) to be 3d - i.e. (1,1,0) - changed nothing)
I find this problem fascinating, so I'd like it very much to wrap my head around it, but if someone has apart from it a solution on how to define a pair of numbers to use afterwards in tikz, behaving well with tikz-3dplot, I would also be interested
