 If the movement has intricate turns, increasing the number of samples will increase the accuracy of the computed distance - but will also slow down evaluating it. If the movement has intricate turns, increasing the number of samples will increase the accuracy of the computed distance - but will also slow down evaluating it.

 +This controls allow you to limit the frames where the plugin is active.
 +Multiple plugins can be daisy chained via the Rotation input and using Add as a Channel Replacement option to allow for multiple slices in time where the plugins are active.
 +A similar effect can be achieved by animating the Rotation Multiplier.

 If a Rotation vector is connected to the input, this control defines how the **Rotation Channel** will modify the respective rotation channel on the input vector. If a Rotation vector is connected to the input, this control defines how the **Rotation Channel** will modify the respective rotation channel on the input vector.
 This allows for the daisy chaining of multiple wheel nodes. This allows for the daisy chaining of multiple wheel nodes.

 +==== Cache ====
 +
 +If this option is enabled, the plugin will use a cache for the wheel rotation which can massively speed up scenes with multiple wheels or long scenes.
 +
 +The Alignment is not cached.
 +
 +==== Update Cache ====
 +
 +Updates the cache. This is required if any of the items that influence the current wheel have been edited.
 +
 +<WRAP center round important >
 +Due to technical limitations, the cache can not be updated automatically if any of the items that influence the current wheel have been changed.
 +
 +We have provided the [[tools:wheel_generic|]] plugin to make this process easier.

 +
 +==== Save Cache ====
 +
 +Saves the cache with the node settings, effectively baking it.
 +
 +If save is off, the cache will be re-created when the node is loading (i.e. when a scene is loaded).
