Hi, when I rotate an object on the screen with one finger in order to position it well for a screenshot, I don’t seem to be able to rotate it about the vertical axis. For example, starting in the top view, I cannot rotate it about the y axis so that it stays put with respect to rotation about the x and z axes. Is there a way to do it?
