Three-point problem

I would like to see a tool for measuring a surface dip using three points. The tool could simply have three points that can be spread open or close to fit the area of interest. The alternate version of the tool could be selection of three points. The answer would be given in dip, dip direction, strike, and/or maximum/minimum dips based on the DEM or Lidar resolution, slope or dip aspect, etc.

From the perspective of a geologist, the tool would be useful for determining strike and dip of bedded surfaces.
