Set camera angle
3D layers allow 3D materials to be shown in various positions and angles which is useful for adjusting the composition of a work.
When the camera angle of a 3D layer is changed, the perspective ruler created on the 3D layer also changes to match it.
Memo | To adjust the camera with a mouse, change the settings in the Sub Tool Detail palette > "Mouse/Gestures". |
