Add support for Axis rotation

[cannonball191]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. F3D let users rotate models freely along all three axis. It woul be nice to be able to rotate only on a single axis, x, y or z. An interaction to do that would be appreciated.

Describe the solution you'd like

• Press Ctrl + x/y/z then click and move to restrict the rotation to a single axis

Describe alternatives you've considered

• Ctrl + Mouse move rotate alongside the camera axis

@mwestphal Hi) Can i take this task?

[mwestphal]

Of course:)

[mwestphal]

Hi @Denys619

Do you need help moving forward ?

[mwestphal]

Hi @Denys619

Need any help moving forward ? :)

As a reference, I cannot spin to see the side of this object without it also tilting. 1.

@Poikilos I think you're missing --up=z to properly spin around this STL file (adding --grid --axis could also help for troubleshooting purposes)

[mwestphal]

@Poikilos this is also not related to the issue, please join the discord to ask such questions :)

@mwestphal Ok, thanks. I thought it was an example of an angle that was not possible, but:

@Poikilos I think you're missing --up=z to properly spin around this STL file (adding --grid --axis could also help for troubleshooting purposes)

@snoyer Thank you, it works! --up=z works fine with --camera-elevation-angle=45 --camera-azimuth-angle=-45, and leaving off focal point and using default works (centered on model geometry automatically)

No feedback from @Denys619 , unassigning for now. Do not hesitate to comment if you want to keep working on this @Denys619 :)

[dh-you]

Hi @mwestphal, could I try this out?

[mwestphal]

Of course!

Unassigning as asked.
