Using Axes modesUse the Axes modes to specify the set of axes for which the layer, light, or camera is being transformed. You can transform a layer on either the local axes, the world axes, or the view axes. The Local Axes mode aligns the axes to the surface of a particular 3D layer. The World Axes mode aligns the axes to the absolute coordinates of the composition. Regardless of the rotations you perform on a layer, the axes always represent 3D space relative to the 3D world. The View Axes mode aligns the axes to the view you have selected. For example, suppose that a layer has been rotated and the view changed to a custom view. Any subsequent transformation made to that layer while in View Axes mode happens along the axes corresponding to the direction from which you are looking at the layer. Note: The camera tools always adjust along the view's local axes, so their action will not be affected by the axes modes. To change Axes modes: In the toolbox, select the mode you want to use. |
