      Access: View -> View Direction

      [flash=600,338:5k1u441o]http://www.youtube.com/v/iYPkE9DZ8FM[/flash:5k1u441o]

      Overview:
      When activated it adds a note acting as a Head Up Display with location info about the model and the camera angle in relationship to the north angle. This HUD will update the info instantly as it changes.

      "View Direction: North" means you are looking towards north.

      To deactivate the HUD, either use the menu system or simply delete the note.

      You can move the note around to your pleasing using the Move tool.

      Compatible:

      • SU7
      • PC
        Other versions and systems untested.

        Looks very useful for all the obvious reasons. Well done, sir.

        I take the slow, deliberate approach in my aimless wandering.

            The North angle. You turn it on from under Model -> Location.
