3D Transform Tools
There is no inherent difference between 2D and 3D project files in Motion. At any
point, you may decide to start working with groups or layers in 3D. Doing so requires
no preplanning on your part; in fact, it’s possible to go back and forth between
manipulating objects in 2D and 3D space. This section covers the tools you can use to
move objects around in the Canvas.
The image in the screen shot above has just been imported into the scene and is
positioned at the scene’s origin. Use the 3D Transform tool—located to the right of the
Select/Transform tool in the Toolbar—to move the image.
To use the 3D Transform tool:
m
Select the 3D Transform tool in the Toolbar (press Q).
Two things happen immediately when you select the 3D Transform tool. The onscreen
controls change, and the object’s HUD changes.
