    That’s really odd indeed, everything seems to be right… I advise you to contact their technical support.

    Had the same problem.. Not sure why, but turning the vector (continuously rasterize) switch on on the Element 3D layer solved it for me.

    I have same problem with you, i think so! I used Element 3D 1.6, and change viewport, but bottom, front, left are same view! Can you help me solve it? And here, my screenshot.

    Did anyone solve this issue? I have the exact same problem. When I import an object using element 3d, I can change the viewport camera from active camera, to any other camera (top, side, left etc.) and it does not change perspective of the object at all. It remains exactly the same as it would normally in the active camera perspective. I have tried making the layer with the Element 3d effect applied to it a 3D layer, and all that does is flatten the object into a 3d plane (so it acts like a picture would when you make it a 3D layer). From Andrew Kramers tutorials, he never makes it a 3d layer, he can just change from the active camera to another camera perspective and the viewport will update the perspective of the object…

    Anyone solve this? It’s driving me nuts, and without being able to fix this issues, doing shadows is a massive pain in the…

    The guy above me was correct. To fix this issue, you need to click on the “continuously rasterize” switch (in the timeline, its the star symbol next to the “source name” column). Once you do that, it will update the perspectives correctly.

    Had the same problem here. And found a solution.

    There is a switch in Element 3D panel that relates to the object orientation
    (Group 1>Particle Look>Rotation>Orientation)

    3 options are available in this dropdown menu:
    Along Surface
    Face Camera
    Fixed

    My default was Face Camera, changed this to Along Surface and resolved the issue.
