Cell Properties -> Geolocation and Bearing

Two new Cell [and possibly a label?] Properties:

Geolocation & Bearing:

The coordinates can be applied manually or using a map placement splatter or scripted to place Cells on a Point Cloud or by inheriting their placement in the environment.

So I can place 10,000 coordinate marker Cells, enable coordinate inheritance, and I can get more information out of them, or replace them with other things like objects or lines.

The same applies to Cell bearings. It can also be applied as a property. There are times when bearing is not needed, like survey data points, and other times, like when replacing a data point with another Cell that requires a bearing orientation.

This is not the same as placing objects at geocoordinate positions. This is for a Cell Element to inherit the value and make it useable in other ways like reporting or manipulation.

Coordinate & Bearing are stored as Item Types, and possibly a Label related to the object.

It can be taken even to a more advanced level by having a second set of geolocation properties which are projected to 2D. This would allow the Cell to be correctly geolocated in a 3D model or 2D drawing.

There are probably lots more things that can be done with these properties in the Cell, for geolocated content...
