Long shot, but just in case someone here knows wtf I'm talking about, I'd appreciate the help.

I've got a 3d room set up and I'm trying to create a solid to run in 3d space via a null object, while keeping said solid in 2d. In my effects cotrol bar for the solid, I can adjust for the z-axis, but when I go into my comp layers, it only shows x and y.

Thoughts?

Manic!

I have not used it in a long time but have you hit the 3D switch. Its pic of the box to left of the word parent in this picture.

Yeah, I had the 3D switch on. I could access the z-axis in the effects control bar, but not in the comp timeline. Eitherway, I figured out a way to pick whip from the effect bar into the null object on the timeline, allowing me access to the expressions to adjust for z.

Thanks though. :)
