simulating “freeze transform” feature of 3D apps in AE?
is there a possibility to make the PSR of a null to have (pseudo)zero values after i move/scale/rotate to desirable values.
essentially what i am seeking is to be able to simulate the “freeze transform” feature in 3d applications.thanks

You could add a new null. Hold shift while parenting the new null to the old null (this is new in Ae CS6) — this will copy the transforms from the original null to the new null. (Pre-CS6, copy and paste PSR.)
Now unparent the new null, then parent the old null to the new null.
Your original null will now have zeroed-out transforms because they are measured locally relative to the new null, which had matching transforms in world space.
