Hi,
Motion has Earth.usdz in 3D Objects>Education. It rotates perfectly in the library viewer. However, when I put it into the Layer/Timeline and apply Behaviour/Basic motion/Spin to it, it looks like a thick coin spinning instead of a beach ball-like shape spinning.
Any suggestions how to get it to spin with a spherical shape? (Indeed, as it spins in the Library viewer?)
Cheers,
Steve.
In all likelihood, you attempted to rotate the Group the Earth model was in and it was probably a 2D group. Switching the Group to 3D will unflatten the model and allow you to create an orbit (use an X or Z Anchor Point offset):

It seems to work just fine on my mac.
Did you choose the Axis of rotation correctly? It defaults to Z, but you want Y. Maybe that's the issue.
Thanks for the reply, Luis.
I think I figured out the problem. I think I elongated the object, somehow. I erased it and re-inserted in but it was still elongated. Somehow it's inserting with the elongated shape. I opened another project and inserted the earth and it worked fine.
So, not totally sure what was going on there but it's working in the new file.
Thanks for the help.
Thank you, fox_m for the reply and the video. I appreciate that. I'm not totally sure how I fixed it, but I appreciate the tip.
