  • PRE-COMP Object & Basic 3D not centered.

    Posted by Paul Whishaw on November 1, 2008 at 3:32 am

    I have a small box in the lower left of my screen that is made up of numerous compositions. They are all composed into a single layer. I would like to spin this object using Basic 3D but even after using the Move Behind tool to move the layers anchor to the centre of my small box, it spins on an axis way off from my object.

    I’ve run into this before but I can’t remember how I solved it.

    Parent the sides of the box to a Null (at the center of the box) and rotate the Null.

    There are a few scripts to make this easier, ask if you want to go that route.
