How to lock z position?

[Kim Bo]

I’m using 3D, but I don’t want to move the Z… only the X and Y

[Kim Bo]

I already try… but when I move my image on the viewer directly, well it moves my Z axe as well… that’s why I was wondering if there is a way to lock it

An Expression for the layer’s position property like this should work –

[value[0], value[1], 0]

Just replace the 0 with the value you want for the Z-position.

[transform.position[0], transform.position[1], 0];

Change number ‘0’ by the current Z position you want to lock.
