Thanks Andy for sharing.
Rich, you need to push line 2 in 3D space behind the other lines.

Cheers

Hi Andy,

I can seem to see the line when I first draw it if I use FCP Titles. I have to have the group clicked (which you unchecked so you didn't have to look at it while working)

Is there a setting I should correct so I can the line like you are?
Please let me know.

Thanks!
Later,
G

This is probably because you had the Titles group selected when you drew the line and so your line layer is located in that group instead of the new group. Just grab the line layer and drag it into your new group and you should be fine.

That is a great tutorial. Motion 5 is powerful, but very dense and this helps demystify it. I have gone through it step by step twice and it really helps.
