Moving Photoshop 3D in After Effects
Hello.
After I import PS 3D, this is what I get. Images below.

How do I align the control tools of the control layer with the plane itself? What is that red diagonal line? When I try to rotate the controller layer, it moves that line and I can’t predict how the plane rotates. I’ve tried center-in-view’ing the control layer, and that makes the plane disappear off the screen.
Thanks!

Thanks, Dave.
I tried checking the 3D box for photoshop layer, and it didn’t change anything as far as I can tell.
When I parented it, the plane disappeared.
I was under the impression that when importing PSD live 3D, individual settings of the photoshop layer were linked to individual settings of the 3D null layer so there is no need to do these two things?
Thanks.
p.s. Now I got a hang of how the plane moves, but still curious what that diagonal red line is and how to orient the rotation/move tools to match the orientation of the plane.

You’re right about that.
I’ve read through the documentations for both AE and Photoshop regarding 3D layers and watched several tutorials.
Somehow, on the tutorials, the imported 3D layer seems to appear neatly positioned and I don’t see that diagonal line.
Maybe it’s something I’m doing in Photoshop itself.

No, I’m not.
The line is not visible on rendering, and it is part of the null 3d layer. I’m guessing it’s supposed to be a reference plane(surface) or a guideline. Maybe it’s because of how the 3D model obj I imported into Photoshop was set up.
By the way, thanks for your time, Dave. I guess I’ll live with it.
