3D Transform Tools
There is no inherent difference between 2D and 3D project files in Motion. At any point,
you may decide to start working with groups or layers in 3D. Doing so requires no
preplanning on your part; in fact, it’s possible to go back and forth between manipulating
objects in 2D and 3D space. This section covers the tools you can use to move objects
around in the Canvas.
