Hello Mike,

It’s been a while since you posted and you may already have figured it out, but for those who haven’t been so lucky…

Apparently, double-clicking on an axis handle will lock Cinema4D’s move/scale/rotate tools to that axis. Axis handles are the red/green/blue arrows you use to move your object around in the viewport. The currently locked axis (if any) will be highlighted in yellow. To unlock, simply double-click on that axis’ handle.

Hope this helps!

Wow, Trent. You’ve completely saved my day! This issue arose because my coworkers remain blissfully ignorant of After Effects and it’s wonders. Since they wouldn’t learn something new, they’re now getting an easy-to-use template for making their own nameplates!

I plugged the script in to the scale property, as you said….and KABOOM! it worked! Just a little bit of tweaking was needed, but it was easy enough to get the X value right 😀

in short, THANKS THANKS!
