Hi
I was wondering if the D5 team or developers have considered adding a visible north indicator in the viewport. This would make it much easier to visualize and adjust the sunlight direction accurately when working with the north orientation.
Thanks
i agree with this! would be a good functionality!
I use the Solar North extension in Sketchup and it’d be really useful if the settings transferred into D5, especially as I struggle to get the angle right in D5.
I completely agree with your point — a visible north indicator would be a valuable addition. It’s such a small feature, yet it can significantly improve orientation and make adjusting sunlight direction much more intuitive, especially for large-scale projects. The phrase “visualize and adjust” really captures the essence of what designers need when balancing realism and precision.
Speaking of smart integration, this kind of improvement reminds me how integration with existing tools often defines workflow efficiency — for instance, when teams decide to hire next js developer at Lemon.io to connect their CRM, ERP, or marketing systems seamlessly, ensuring better data visibility and smoother collaboration. That same principle applies here — it’s all about making the tools talk to each other in a way that feels natural to the user.
