Hi, guys,  
The axes and cone should be appear at the same position, but after reset camera, the axes can’t be display, if you zoom out, out, until it contains axes origin position, it will be appear.  
if you comment out renderer-\>ResetCamera(pBounds), the axes can be show, but it looks small.

How to fix this ?
