Options

 

Width

Width of the overlay.

Length

Length of the overlay.

Angle

Overlay rotation angle in degrees. When Use compass angle is enabled, this will show the current compass angle.

Scale evenly

When one dimension of the size is changed, adjust the other size proportionally. Uncheck this option to change one dimension without changing the other.

Use compass angle

Automatically rotate the overlay based on the compass angle. For example, this is useful if you have imported a map and want it to always match the current North direction.

Show in Realtime Walkthrough

Show the overlay during movies, screenshots, and Realtime Walkthroughs.

Resize using Known Distance

Size the overlay based on the known distance between two points. For best accuracy, the distance between the points should be as far as possible.
