For environments using the AR Navigation app it is necessary to align the y-axis indicated by the blue line with magnetic north. To achieve this you can use the compass displayed in the top left corner of your screen to find the north direction of your environment and adjusting the origin by dragging the rotation gizmo so your model aligns with it as well as possible.

To make this easier consider using the Orthographic view. You can toggle between the Orbital and Orthographic Camera by tapping the Perspective icon on the top right.

Then you need to turn yourself and the phone to find magnetic north using the Compass in the top left

Finally, rotate the entire model with two fingers to align the blue needle of the compass with the blue line in the model. Both must point in the same direction.

Next, use the rotation gizmo (green circle) to align the model with your real-life point-of-view. Thus, the blue line in the model should point in the same direction as your phone does in real life.

Confirm your changes and you should be ready to start the AR-Demo
