# Attitude

Visualise your aircraft's orientation with a real-time 3D model that reflects pitch, roll and yaw throughout the flight. This gives engineers a spatial view of flight dynamics that is hard to spot in raw time-series data alone.

#### Adding the Attitude plot

1. Open a plot tile and switch the plot type to **Attitude** using the plot type selector in the toolbar.
2. Click the **gear icon** to open the Settings panel.
3. Assign your **Roll**, **Pitch** and **Yaw** signals to the corresponding rows.

#### Settings

| Setting                | Description                                                                                                                                                                        |
| ---------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Roll / Pitch / Yaw** | The source signals for each rotation axis.                                                                                                                                         |
| **Euler Order**        | The order in which the three rotations are applied (default ZYX). Match this to the Euler convention used by your avionics or INS. Supported orders: XYZ, XZY, YXZ, YZX, ZXY, ZYX. |
| **Angle units**        | Degrees or radians. Marple automatically detects the unit from the first signal when available; override it here if needed.                                                        |
| **Signal multiplier**  | A scalar applied to a signal before rendering. Useful for unit conversion, e.g. millidegrees → degrees or to amplify small movements.                                              |

#### Cursor behaviour

The 3D model updates in sync with the primary cursor. Drag the cursor in any linked time series plot to step through the flight and view the plane's attitude. If you have a realtime dataset open, you can select to use the latest value instead.

# Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation

If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.marpledata.com/docs/marple-insight/user-manuals/visualisation/plot-types/attitude.md?ask=<question>
```

The question should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
