Is it possible to orient a sensor in the body axes of the entity that it is attached to (specifically in CZML)? I see there is an 'axes' property of the Orientation, but I haven't been able to find any examples or documentation of its usage.

Thanks!

Defining an entity’s orientation in another entity’s reference frame is planned but not supported yet. It’s on the roadmap: [https://github.com/AnalyticalGraphicsInc/cesium/issues/1045](https://github.com/AnalyticalGraphicsInc/cesium/issues/1045)
