• Under the Vertical flip property you can change the orientation of how the rotating tile flips. By default it flips horizontally.

• Turning on the 3D effect property places a border around the rotating measures which gives it the appearance of being 3D.

By changing the Animation settings you can control how fast the values rotate.

The Title settings allows you to modify the measure name color and text size.
