It seems as if VectorBox isn’t dockable. Does it sound familiar?

Brendan Sadaka

@Maurice Leenen - thanks for bringing this to my attention, I have reproduced the problem on my end and am working on it. Very sorry you're unable to dock the script in the meantime.

Brendan Sadaka

@Maurice the issue has been fixed. Download the latest version (1.1) to start docking VectorBox. Cheers!

Hey Brendan, this is a great tool.

I watched the beginner tutorial and I'm wondering if there's a way to utilize each face of the box as either a matte, or as a parent. So for example, if I wanted to add a logo or text to the front face - is that possible? 

Thanks!

Brendan Sadaka

@Jes thanks! Yep - I just gave it a shot and here are the steps if you were to attach a layer to the Front face of the box.

• Put your logo layer inside the box composition
• Make sure your logo layer is set to 3D
• Parent the logo layer to the "Front" layer
• Make sure the logo layer's rotation is zeroed out
• To center your logo layer on the "Front" layer, set the position to 50,50,-1

The reason for the XYZ being 50,50,-1:

•  50,50 is because all face layers are 100x100 - so 50,50 places your logo layer at the very center of the "Front" layer
• -1 in Z-space ensures that the "Front" layer will stay behind your logo layer - and they won't compete for the same z-space.

Hope that works for you!

Amazing, thanks so much! Appreciate the quick response!

@Jes no problem, enjoy and thanks for grabbing this tool!

Hi, just purchased this without noticing that it's not updated for AE 2023 yet. Will there be an update soon?

Brendan Sadaka

@Cindy sorry I will amend the description to notify users that it isn't updated for 2023 yet. It unfortunately won't be soon, hopefully early next year.
