Unfortunately CS3 support was removed but you can use the 3D Layer Distributor (http://aescripts.com/3d-layer-distributor/) which will give you the same results. It just doesn’t have the pretty UI.

Is there a way to use this script with CS3?

Fairly new to AE CS5. Purchased nab_DistributeLayers and have installed correctly. But I’m having a problem, hoping you can help..

I select my 3D layers (simple text, duplicated 20 times) and I want to change the Z Offset position by 1.0. I do that and see that the script works and the layers update before my eyes!!! But then, as soon as I click anywhere else in the screen they go back to how they were, pre script..

Any ideas as to what I’m doing wrong?

I just purchased to use with AE CS5, and it doesn’t seem to work. The UI doesn’t show up. It works just fine using CS4.

FYI – MacPro on 10.6.8

Is it possible to convert this to CS3 easily? I would love to be able to use this in CS3 if its not a big problem converting. Great script by the way!!!!

Hey Nab,

Rand. Pos doesn’t work if the dimensions are separated. Got an error message:

“Script error: An error occured while accessing trasform properties of selected layers.”

I’ve tried to install this script (Properly, based on the install tutorial) but the UI panel is blank. I’ve tried on a PC and a MAC on CS5. Any suggestions?

This is the script I keep looking for, positioning layers randomly in 3D space.

I just upgrade my AE to CS5, is this script working on CS5 or will you plan to upgrade it to CS5?

Thank you.

Hi, thanks for the script. It was working great, then all of a sudden it started deleting rotation keyframes when I distribute the position. Is there a way to get around this?

Thanks.

Ah, nevermind. Just watched the tutorial on aescripts youtube channel.
