Request buildplate xyz Indicator visible during zoomed view while manually placing SLA support points #8748

Open Subtle3D opened 2 years ago

Subtle3D commented 2 years ago

It is difficult to manually place SLA support points in ideal positions on an object without being able to tell which direction the build plate is.

A global xyz indicator always displayed somewhere, such as the top left or right corner of the display, regardless of camera position or zoom level would be ideal. The current indicator is locked to the build plate corner and is often out of view.

I constantly have to zoom in and out to see what angle I'm looking at. The attached picture is zoomed in for precise support point placement but I'm not sure which side is toward the build plate until zoomed out enough that point placement is difficult.

Zoomed in Zoomed out

Hm hm, floating xyz compass / indicator could be sometime useful. Thanks

A viewcube would be nice. Implemented in dear imgui here, as an example: https://github.com/CedricGuillemet/ImGuizmo
