    Layers position moves with scale

    Posted by Alex Dinnin on January 14, 2021 at 4:01 pm

    I’m going slowly mad with this.. I have two cube shape layers… one sits just above the other.

    If I scale the top one in y, it covers the bottom one.. I want the bottom shape to move accordingly as the top one scales..

    I need to make a mogrt, so the editor can scale the box but the other boxes stay the same size and move so they are still full size.. does that make sense…

    thanks as always

    Alex

    Thanks so much for this Trent… the problem you have is that the width between the boxes is changing as well…

    I did manage to nail it in the end.. I’ve uploaded it here if you’re interested..

    adjust the sliders in the bottom shape layers..

    Awesome stuff! Yeah. I messed around with mine a bit, and it works better with the Null (and expressions attached box) sitting on the bottom edge of the top layer instead of being offset.

    Maybe I’ll be able to help next time! 😉
