  Align null object to Shape box corner

  Posted by David Schagerström on October 8, 2014 at 11:53 am

  Hi!

  I have a shape layer that has an animated scale. It goes from 0 – 100 from the left corner. I’ve got a an expression to change the “Size” of my shape layer. The problem is that if I change the size, the shape’s anchor point wont follow. The shape isnt scaling up from the corner anymore.

  I’ve put the scaling animation on a null now, therefor the title.

  Any ideas?

  You could use something like this for the Transform/Rectangle Anchor Point:

  -content(“Rectangle 1”).content(“Rectangle Path 1”).size/2

  You’ll probably have to drag it back to its original location, but it should scale from the corner.
