Users at ExxonMobil Baytown are requesting the ability to show cardinal directions in the 3D models and their associated viewing interfaces to improve ability to locate equipment in the field. 

 

There should be a north / south / east / west toggle to show or hide such that if the model has been geo-located that users can see directions related to true north.

@Matthew Semanick it would be great with some additional context from the relevant users on this topic. One thing is adding support for cardinal directions for basic navigation, but we believe this should be seen as part of a bigger topic around navigation & coordinate use in 3D. We are considering adding support for lat. long. navigation, and it would be helpful to get in touch with some users from ExxonMobil to discuss.
