Hello everyone,

I have several independent simulation files for which I would like to increase the size of the orientation axes. The issue with using “Orientation Axes Interactivity” is that the size is controlled with the mouse and with four different simulations it’s basically impossible to have the exact same size in all of them.

Is there a way to control the size manually or is there a workaround for this specific situation?

Best regards,  
João

Hi @Joao_Pedro_Perdigao

Indeed, the OrientationWidget offers no control apart the interactive mouse control making precise control impossible.
