Gizmo Fixed Axes

Hello,

I am working on using Gizmo to represent a series of triplet waves. What I want to do is make a movie adding one path plot at a time (since showing all the plots at once is a little confusing). However, the Axes automatically adjust to include only the data being shown. The axes control window only allows to visual changes to the axes shown, not their range. I tried "Custom" axes, entering the range of my data in XYZ but this resulted in no axes being shown whatsoever.

How can I go about keeping the axes fixed for my full range of data despite only showing part of the full data set?
Start with the full data set. Then go to Gizmo menu and choose Axis Range... to get the global settings for the maximum extent of your graph. Click the Manual Range radio controls so that they are set and now revert the display to your initial data set.

I thought it may come down to something like that. Can this be done programatically? I know that NewGizmo will open the panel and Appendtogizmo can be used to add a path plot to the object list. Digging deeper into the documentation, it seems ModifyGizmo can be used to turn off the autoscaling but it doesn't seem it can set the max/min values of the individual axes.

Everything can be done programmatically.
ModifyGizmo setOuterBox={xmin,xmax,ymin,ymax,zmin,zmax}
ModifyGizmo scalingOption=0
