Is there a way to determine your currect cell location while playing Skyrim? Perhaps by consol command?

In other words, while walking around you decide you want to build your house by "that tree"....but don't know how to find that cell amoung the countless "Wilderness XX YY" cells.

Thanks.

that is not complicated in the case you describe, just walking here and ther, when you feel confortable to build sothing here, just open the console and type:
player.getpos x
player.getpos y
player.getpos z

that way you have the 3 coords. You just have to create the "ref in the right cell, or create your own cell...
You can get the cell id by selecting anything , a tre, a rock (avoid the ground), and make a research about the formid you see up the console.

It is the old way, but it works.

I think he meant what exterior cell he was in, not the X,Y,and Z coordinates. Though I think they are continguous throughout the world so that would work, sort of.

There must be a console command to display your current cell. I would like to know as well.

there is no public known console command to determine the cell you are in, i also want to know it !
Cell are only mem and render associated groups, to know the right cell formid and seach it, you will need to look for an unique item in it, that way, you can start right now.

Cell and World are working the same way.

For reference, here's the Creation Kit wiki's list of http://www.creationkit.com/Category:Console_Commands. There doesn't seem to be anything there that returns the player's (or any reference's) current cell, and I've not heard of one that does either.

Click on the tree in game with the console open and write down the Reference ID.

In the construction set, select Find Text from the Edit menu. This opens the Text search window. Enter your Reference ID and click the Find Text button. Now select the Objects tab in the Text Search window. It will show your tree and tell you what cell it's in. Double click on the entry and it will load the cell in the Render Window with your tree selected.

The method given by Vyemm will also work. You just need to divide the x and y position co-ordinates for your tree by 4096. This gives a rough approximation of the cell co-ordinates.

Edit: Clarity.
