Can the angles be customized in the Quick FX menu

[mkpatrick6709]

I am trying to create an effect in Affinity Designer 2.5.2 using a Photoshop walkthrough that says to adjust the outer shadow angle to 120 degrees. However, when I try to turn the degrees wheel it jumps to preset degrees. It goes from 90 to 135 degrees and doesn't let me go in between. I press the offset tool button but nothing happens. 

 

Am I unable to choose custom degrees?

 

I'm trying to create this effect but couldn't find anything online for Affinity Designer. I am having a hard time because the 3D effect is not being produced when I try to apply what I believe are the equal or similar settings in Affinity. Angle customization is one effect I haven't been able to apply. I think it's why I haven't been able to create the affect I want.

Please tell me if I can customize angles and if so how? Also, if you see the walkthrough, is there a way to create the effect in Affinity Designer 2.52?

 

Thanks

Click on the degree value and you'll then be able to enter a number.

Alternatively, hold the "Shift" key down to stop it snaping to the preset values
