one thing you can do is place a null where your layer is and parent that null to your main null

then you can use an expression to to link the layer to the position of the child null. this way it will never rotate

I have 4 layers rotating about a null on a circular path in 3D space. The 4 layers are parented to the null. How do I keep the layers y rotation facing the viewer (locked to y=0) even while following the circular path in every other way? Expression?

Thanks,

James
