3D Views When working with images positioned in 3D space, or rotated around their X
or Y axes, it is sometimes hard to see where things are if you only view them
from the front. For instance, if you want to make one image orbit another
image along a horizontal plane, the motion path will look like a straight line
when viewed from the front. Choose “View Top” on the Stage menu to view the
stage from the top.
Likewise, for vertical motion, the stage can be viewed from the left. By alter-
nating between these three views, you can create elaborate three-dimensional
motion paths.
Previewing Without Perspective The Stage window generally shows images in 3D space using the perspective
set in Preferences. Deselect Perspective on the Preview menu to view and edit
images using an ortographic (non-perspective) view.
