Is there an equivalent to Three.js's ArrowHelper in Babylon.js?

Questions
1

I’m quite familiar with the utility of ArrowHelper in ThreeJS, which visually represents a direction in 3D space using an arrow. I was wondering if there’s a direct equivalent or a recommended approach to achieve this in Babylon.js?

Nope and it would be a great contrib !!!

The closest we have is in the code here https://github.com/BabylonJS/Babylon.js/blob/master/packages/dev/core/src/Gizmos/axisDragGizmo.ts#L88

We do have the Ray Helper, I wonder if it’s close enough? Mesh Picking | Babylon.js Documentation

I think Ray Helper lack a arrow head to indicate the accurate direction. @ertugrulcetin Are you planing to contribute? If not, I’d like to make it.

@ertugrulcetin similar to what @sebavan suggested, you could try a local axis Display Axes | Babylon.js Documentation

Also there’s arrows option for greased line Creating A GreasedLine | Babylon.js Documentation

See example PG:
