Subject: Is there a way to display the XYZ Axis in the preview window

Is there a way to display the XYZ Axis in the preview window?

I believe there was a Script available with the previous version that allowed it to be displayed in the preview window. But I may be wrong.

Scene XYZ ? Wasn't there a freebie with three orthogonal lines, or could you make one from Poser primiti8ves ??

Sorry, I do not understand. I don't want to make one. I want one to be present in the viewport. So when I change camera angles I'll know the XYZ Axis. I switch between different viewports a lot when animating. It gets a little tedious constantly hitting the undo when I accidentally change the dial of the wrong Axis I want.

You mean like an aircraft's 'horizon ball' thing ?? If Poser cameras have that, sorry, I cannot find it...

FWIW, a two-minute whatsit: Library, props, Poser primitives' box. Drag into scene. Select box_1. Scale to 50%. Duplicate. Select box_1, duplicate again.  Select box_1, x-scale 500%, xTran positive until just clear of #2 and #3. Select box_2, y-scale 500%, yTran positive until just clear of #1 and #3. Select box_3, z-scale 500%, zTran positive until just clear of #1 and #2. Colour-code #1~~#3 to taste. Their 'show in ray-trace' [  ] (no) only seems to work for Firefly, which is unfortunate...

Uncheck the three:

* Visible in Raytracing
* Visible in Camera
* Cast Shadows

It will remain visible in the Pose room, only.

Try turning on display/guides/vanishing lines.

Ok, Thanks to all for the suggestions.

Yeah, I use that a lot actually. But I wish it was labeled (XYZ).

Simple memory hook: XYZ = RGB, meaning:

X-Axis = Red

Y-Axis = Green

Z-Axis = Blue

It works this way in a lot of programs: Blender, Unity, even in Minecraft.  I have never encountered an exception.
