Node Directional Cone

[formbysurveys]

Is is possible to add a directional cone to active nodes on a map to show the direction of view - the cone would rotate as the pano was rotated.

Hi Andy,
In the scotched project you will see a radar that is a single element that is called to each position as it becomes active.
The element "radar beam" has modifiers that allow it to rotate and change scale as you tilt up and down and zoom.
Download the project and publish the output to see it working.


How this was make.
I used the map pin component as found here.
I had to add a rectangle and replace the red dot element.

I then opened the packaged skin called controller_new_radar.ggsk.
I copied the elements radar dot and radar beam in to mu own skin.
You should be able to work out the rest from there.

The main trick is the radar element need to be able to rotate from the centre, so i have used a rectangle (radar) and positioned the beam and dot over this.

Regards,
Hopki
