 * Rotational scans require much more time and processing than Planar scans. Factors affecting processing time include: Sample Interval, Step Over, tool diameter, and model size.  Again, rotational scans can take a long time.  Some might take 3, 5 or 10 minutes or longer.
 * For time purposes, it is better that you not recompute a rotational scan after every property change; rather, consider one of the following:
 * use the ' change all settings with ENTER key ' technique mentioned in Step 2 above, then the operation.
 * deactivate the operation with the toggle tool, make your changes to the operation's properties, then click the  icon again to re-activate the operation - which triggers a recompute internally.
 * The operation is still considered an experimental feature as of 2019-06-25. As such, it may contain a few bugs yet to be clearly identified.  Please report bugs and issues in the FreeCAD Path/CAM Forum.
 * The built in does NOT support 4th-axis simulation. You will need to use a third party simulator to inspect or verify paths visually.  See the Resources section below for suggestions.
 * You will likely see red rotational lines around your model in the viewport. This is normal in FreeCAD for the time being.
