    yeah definitely aim for more rotation vs translation. btw i made an edit to the last post, re base size, but it looks like your geometry is OK

    @pmvcda we have hotkeys to map the platform gains in the options (3 buttons). Can I ask to have an axis for it so it’s acts as a rotary pot from 0-100%. For later of course, when you find time for it. Best regards

    It's done. Have a small bug there i need to solve.
    For now you can use an axis to increase/decrease depending on axis value being positive or negative, but to feed directly the axis value we have a checkbox and a multiplier that are causing some problems. A new feature in Mover is that you can assign hot controls to any numeric, checkbox or button in the UI. We just need to right click on them to do so.
    Also we can use midi devices to do it also.
    Will try to make a small video showing this.
