Compass and viewing direction on the floor plan
When reviewing a 360 image, it could be hard to orient yourself — the previous compass was small and easy to miss, and nothing on the floor plan told you which way the camera was facing.
When reviewing a 360 image, it could be hard to orient yourself — the previous compass was small and easy to miss, and nothing on the floor plan told you which way the camera was facing.
Two things changed in the viewer. First, the compass has been replaced with a 56px circular dial showing N, S, E, and W labels, a red north needle, and a degree readout. As you pan around the panorama, the dial rotates in real-time so you always know which direction you're looking relative to true north. If a scan point doesn't carry compass data, the dial stays hidden — nothing broken, nothing shown.
Second, a blue 90° arc now appears around the selected scan dot on the floor plan (both in split view and minimap mode). The arc represents your current field of view — roughly the 90° cone in front of the camera. Pan the 360 image and the arc rotates with it. Select a different scan point and the arc resets, reappearing once the new panorama loads. Together, the dial and the arc let you stay spatially grounded: you can glance at the floor plan and immediately see where in the space you are and which direction you're facing.
Both additions work together. Use the floor plan arc to answer "am I facing the north wall or the south wall?" and use the compass dial to get the exact bearing when precision matters — useful when you're comparing a 360 capture against a dimensioned drawing or coordinating with a team member on-site.
