[5.99] Rotating 3d footprint moves in 90 degree increments

[gmc]

Not sure if this is a bug or some setting that can be changed via a config in 5.99

In PCB editor, under footprint properties / 3d Models if you click on the + or - next to Rotation (x,y,x) it moves in 90 degree steps.

In 5.1.x this was 5 degree increments. Is this configurable. I’ve checked through the settings but can’t find a place to edit this?

Is it important?

90 degree rotations are by far the most common for 3D models.
If another rotation is needed for some reason it’s unlikely some preset will work, and just typing in a number is probably the best option.

Are you only using the up down arrows? To get finer rotation simply type in a number

[gmc]

I could just type in the numbers, but was used to using the arrows for finer adjustment,

I’ve upvoted the FR.

As a tip for all (copied from the mentioned gitlab-issue): Maybe the use of the scroll-wheel and Shift+scroll-wheel can help someone:
rotation:
scroll-wheel alone: ±90°
Shift+scroll-wheel: ±1°

linear movement/offset:
scroll-wheel alone: ± 0.5mm
Shift+scroll-wheel: ± 0.1mm

(admittedly, I for myself have never used the scroll-wheel at these number-entry-fields in real use. It’s to seldom that I have to adjust these settings and so I only use the obvious possibilities - direct number-entry + arrow-icons without any modifier-keys)
