3D Axis

my solution is to create a second 3D-axis and a second outlinebox in
a subframe of my renderwindow. These actors are only allowed to
rotate in the same way as the "main actors" in the renderer. I
do not let them scale, pan nor zoom, so I still know where I'am
if I lost the orientation in the main renderer.
See also the attached snapshot to get an imagination of what I mean.

I hope this helps
Chris
