Mini map
                                                Show or hide the minimap
The minimap is displayed as a floating window that can be positioned and sized as desired. It can be hidden by closing the window or clicking on the Tools button > Minimap > Activate.
 
The orange dot represents the camera, the orange cone indicates the direction of the camera, and the yellow dot is the target point.
 
Left-clicking on the minimap immediately moves the camera to those XY coordinates (keeping whatever Z it had).
 
Right-clicking orients the camera to face the direction the click was made.
 
It is only possible to click on the minimap if the camera is not in Alignment mode.
