The slope and stake tools are measurement tools that can be placed to measure the distance or angle from point to point. To access them open the quick tools, menu, and select one or the other.
The slope tool allows you to place two sticks and once placed, will show you the elevation between the two. The stake tool displays the distance between each point and you can chain up to 20 at once.
The birds' eye tool gives you an elevated top down view of the entire environment. It is most effective on outdoor environments such as the colosseum.
To activate it, open the main tools panel in the home menu and toggle birds eye view on.
The compass is a custom environment tool that displays the northerly direction in a custom environment.
To activate it open up the main tools and select the AEC tools tab, then toggle the compass on.
The sun cycle is another custom environment tool that allows you to change the sun position in the sky, depending on the time of day, the time of year and the position in the world.
To activate it, click on the tool icon in the home menu and select the AEC tab at the top right corner of the panel. From there, you can change the sliders and options.
