Can't see anchor point for moving titles with Basic 3D

TL;DR - Is there a separate anchor point for the Basic 3D effect, especially when working with titles? Details below...

I'm trying to have a title, nothing but text, swing down like a hanging sign. When I use the text tool to draw out the text box, and after typing text in there, I apply Basic 3D to the title. When I adjust the Tilt parameter, the text tilts around the center of the frame, not the anchor point at the corner of the text box. Moving that blue crosshair does not affect the 3D anchor point it seems.

I then saw that you could see the real anchor point by clicking on "Motion" in the Effect Controls panel. I moved that blue crosshair to where I want the text to pivot and no change; the text still tilts around the center of the frame.

If I move the text within the frame itself from the Essential Graphics panel, I can move the text to just below the center of the frame and it now tilts the way I want it to. The problem is that it is difficult to setup anything other than the most rudimentary motions because I can't visualize the actual 3D anchor point. None of the blue crosshairs I can find affect the 3D motion at all; the anchor point is locked to the center of the frame.

Is this just the way it is? I have to work from the center of the frame for any title I'd like 3D motion on? Is there a way to see this anchor point so I can more precisely align it to the rest of the project? It really seems like the Basic 3D effect has it's own anchor point, and that unlike other effects, you aren't able to see/modify it within the existing frame.

I appreciate any insight into this issue,
