Description
Need some way of viewing a 3D model of a ship/station in is current orientation.
A consideration is creating a simple voxel of all cubes in the ship and displaying it with HelixToolkit.
Another is to read the .mwm files and interpret all the triangles to build a complete 3D model. (Useful for those doing 3D printing)
It should be understood however that Keen currently provide the models in .fbx format in "SpaceEngineers\Tools\ModelPack.zip"
However we cannot rely upon that been there forever, or it remaining accurate or reliable (mods?).

Research direction
Start by comparing the available Space Engineers\Tools\ModelPack.zip FBX models with the .mwm files and the proposed HelixToolkit approach. Determine how a ship or station's current orientation should be represented and which model source is reliable, then define the viewer's completed behavior, including whether 3D-printing output is in scope.
