Orbit Pre-set Animation
The Orbit animation makes a component rotate around another component, or a fixed point in the scene.
Using and customizing the Orbit pre-set animation
This pre-set has the following customizable properties:
| Property | Description |
|---|---|
| Orbit around | Selecting 'Object' will use a component of your choice as a pivot point. Selecting 'Point' will use a specific point on the canvas according to the X, Y and Z axes. |
| Point | Set the X, Y, and Z coordinates for the orbit center. This becomes visible when 'Point' is selected as the 'Orbit around' property. |
| Orbit clockwise on axis | Select the X, Y, or Z axis of which the orbit plane will rotate around. |
| Reverse direction | When checked, the orbit direction will be in reverse (anti-clockwise). |

| Duration | Set the duration in seconds of one complete orbit. |
| Easing | Choose the easing function for the animation. |
| Loop forever | When checked, the animation will repeat indefinitely. |

| Back and forth | When checked, the animation will move back to the starting position after reaching the destination, then will continue to loop in this fashion. |
