Our team is developing model visualization in our desktop app, and it is getting increasingly difficult to troubleshoot without having a good understanding of orientation. We would greatly appreciate a view cube, like in CAD, so that the user can instantaneously get an understanding of the orientation/view they are looking at.

Thanks!

Hello @kiera.fulton,

For which HOOPS toolkit are you referring to — is it HOOPS 3DF?

Thanks,  
Tino

There is a navigation cube feature in Visualize Desktop, please refer to:
