Is there a way to display the game's map (aka Compass) directions in the CK or Render Window? By the time I've rotated around an object a few times, I'm completely lost as to which way is north in-game.

Also, I realize with interior cells, you specify north with a marker, but wouldn't exterior cells already have a north locked in place? Especially those that are in the Tamriel worldspace or a child of it?

Select an object and hit T, it places the camera directly above the object with no rotation. Assuming that north is not being altered by a North marker UP, when in this camera position, is north.
