Two dimensional (2D) disk models

Fitting a vertical structure with the 1D Two Disk model results in many parameter value results for which it is hard to tell if an individual profile is good enough to determine the average values for the disk components. To avoid this issue one can add additional constraints to the model by adding another dimension to the fitting, in this case the radial distribution, which we know is well described by an exponential, to constrain the fitting better.
