Compass and Axis Tripod Displays a compass and axis tripod, which you
use to define a viewing direction in the viewport.
The compass is a two-dimensional representation of a globe. The center point
is the north pole (0,0,n), the inner ring is the equator (n,n,0), and the entire
outer ring is the south pole (0,0,-n).
As you move the crosshairs, the axis tripod rotates to conform to the viewing
direction indicated on the compass. To select a viewing direction, move your
pointing device to a location on the globe and click.
