_The problem that this feature will solve:_

**This lets users “squeeze” for a custom little dial/radial menu popup that has features the user can utilize and is custom so they can add 4/5 of their must have buttons / shortcuts on this dial.**

_Examples_

_What can’t you achieve without this feature?_

Time management, without shortcuts on the ipad (unless you use a keyboard) it greatly has added time to my workflow having to tap buttons (sure its “micro time” but it adds up and requires moving hand and pen to press button + if there is any sub menus).

Thank you! Loving Shapr but I think the ipad version can be revolutionized by adding such feature where I don’t feel “uncomfortable” with larger projects on the ipad and end up using my desktop instead as an “easy way out”.

@Istvan can you advise if this is on the roadmap? Supporting the motion and squeeze hardware in the Pencil would be excellent! Not sure how the motion could be used effectively, but from this thread the uses for squeeze are straightforward.

The hover support in Shapr3D is _a significant daily improvement_ in my usage of the Pencil. I would even say that’s a reason enough to upgrade to the newer iPad hardware for any serious users.

I can’t believe this still hasn’t been implemented in mid 2026
