Understanding 3D Transform properties


    Designating a layer as 3D increases the number of transform properties. In the Timeline window, each of the standard 2D transform properties of Anchor Point, Position, and Scale have adjustable Z-axis values in 3D layers. Changing these values adjusts the layer's position along the Z-axis. 3D layers also add Rotation Transform properties that can be changed for each axis independently, as well as an additional Rotation Transform property called Orientation (see Understanding 3D rotation for information on the rotation property values).

    For information on changing Transform properties, see Setting keyframes and Setting and animating a layer property in the Timeline window.
