How to center 3D objects?

[melanied95]

Hi, I got an error message saying I cannot align 3D objects? What if I want to center perfectly an object?

The align tool only works on 2D layers and only in X, Y space. There is not a 3D alignment tool. If you want to be precise you have to do the math and adjust the position, anchor point, rotation, and scale appropriately.

You can use the Center in View feature. It's a Menu Command - Layer > Transform > Center in View. The default shortcut is CTRL + Home. Be mindful that if you have Spatial Keyframes such as Anchor Point or Position, these will be disrupted with a new Keyframe after you invoke Center in View.
