  • Layer toggle 3D and have it stay in position?

    Posted by Dustin Bowser on May 11, 2015 at 7:17 pm

    Is there a clever little technique, or a script perhaps that allows you to toggle a Layer to be 3D, but have it remain exactly in position in screen space? Obviously eye balling it for a few layers isn’t that big of a deal, but I’ve been having to do it quite a bit on a project and it’s got me curious if there was a quick to toggle such a thing.

    Thanks for any suggestions!
