Description

Describe the feature you'd like:

I want to display a spherical gizmo to make it easier to see the camera rotation, like the vanilla three.js example, but I don't think setGizmosVisible is working.

https://threejs.org/examples/#misc_controls_arcball

Suggested implementation:

Make it work. Or, if it is possible to get the position of gizmo, which is an internal parameter, it can be drawn on our own.

Research direction

Start by comparing ArcballControls.setGizmosVisible with the vanilla three.js misc_controls_arcball example linked in the issue. Verify whether enabling it displays the spherical rotation gizmo, or whether the gizmo position can be exposed for external drawing; done means one of those supported workflows works as described.
