Positioning Widget

Adjust date, time, and location without leaving the viewport. The widget is split into two panels so you can keep Date & Time visible while collapsing the map.

Where to Find It

  • Open the Scene Builder tool.
  • Enable the Positioning Widget toggle in the viewport toolbar.

Date & Time Panel

Date and Time panel

  • Calendar for year, month, and day (use the arrows to step).
  • Time control: click to activate, then drag left/right to scrub time.
  • Clock icon opens a compact time picker for hours/minutes.
  • Sunrise / Sunset buttons set time quickly; you can drag after clicking to offset.
  • Global / Local toggle switches between scene-wide positioning and per-body overrides.

Info

Not all locations have sunrises and sunsets for every date. When unavailable, the buttons will be grayed out and a tooltip will explain why.

Location & Positioning Panel

  • Expand toggles a larger map view for more precise placement.
