Idea: Add Support for 3-dimensional properties in Essential Graphics

Hello!

Currently, when you try to add a property with 3 dimensions (i.e. the position or orientation of a 3D layer) to the Essential Graphics panel After Effects returns a "Property Type Not Supported" error. This is not a huge limitation, as you can make scalar properties like sliders on the layer and link each slider to a component of the vector property. However, this requires 3 rows in the EG panel rather than the slicker 3-dimensional vector interface we're used to.

Thank you for considering this request!

This would be great! I'm currently regularly using the sliders linked with expressions work-around, but it is cumbersome.

I agree with this. It would really speed up a lot of my work.

yes, please! I deal with this all the time for 3D Anchor Point, Position, Orientation, and Scale.

Also, humble request to allow these inside EGP:

"Grouping Alignment" for Text Layers
"Line Spacing" in Text Animator properties
"Blur" in Text Animator properties

Would love for this functionality to be added to avoid the extra clicks and controls we have to add currently.

+1. Creating expression controls isn't the end of the world, but it creates an extra step and likely isn't a very intuitive solve for many users.
