Parameter Description
Position X, Position Y,
Position Z
Reflect the coordinates of the 3D object. These controls are
identical to the Position X, Position Y, and Position Z parameters in
the Position tab.
When you adjust the Position settings in the Position or the Pivot
tabs, the other tab updates to reflect the changes. See Positioning a
3D Container for more information on the Position parameters.
Pivot X, Pivot Y, Pivot Z Determine the coordinates of a point around which the object
revolves when you tumble, spin, or rotate it.
Normally, these controls rotate an object around its center. Also set
a pivot point by unlocking the Position and Pivot parameters and
adjust the corresponding Pivot parameter.
