Yep... it is. Not all models are built with north pointing up... architectural things tend to fit into a grid that's convenient to work on screen. Forcing a rotation to comply with the fixed north direction brakes the 0,0,0 reference for the working files and make it a little tedious to keep track of things.

It would also be nice to have Maxwell add a sun icon in your scene whenever you are using physical sky with sun. Just would make it easier to visualize where the sun is located.

I was thinking the same thing last night - and I was ready to post that - but you are faster I guess!

that it is true - a mark in the UI for the sun will be really helpfull.

good advice!

since it's a real sun

i don't think it will be possible to show it's icon when you're working in a few meters scene

think maxwell takes 1 meter as 1 meter ... then the earth is dramatically big for a scene setup and so the sun's position is crazy far away

if you make it closer to represent the angle you want, it won't be possible to catch the precision in real life. maybe i'm wrong

Hi all,

We'll show where is the north and the sun located.
