Reorienting the axis of a 3D layer

[Yoondo]

You need to open the tranform properties on the 3d layer and click on reset.

Thanks for the reply – however I believe I did not state my question properly…

I have rotated the 3d layer -90 on z, but want to reorient the layer axis to 0/0/0, not as it is currently (0/0/-90). In my 3D apps, this is done easily (in Softimage, you simply ‘freeze’ the object orientation and the -90 on z becomes 0 – leaving the object re-oriented and the axis reset to 0/0/0)

I’m having difficulty using the Image Lounge plug in ‘Real Shadows’ – it is placing the start, end and angle settings incorrectly on my rotated layer and my shadows are not ‘behaving’ properly. Again, thanks for any help.

Never mind – I just need to pre-comp the layer then apply ‘Real Shadows’ to that and I’m good to go… thanks for your help.
