Re: Get original value of a property 'before' the expression is executed!

Hey Dan,

No dice I'm afraid; its that 3D globe names thing again.

The layer has 3D turned on and an expression applied to move its position into a sphere.

I need to be able to get the x and y of the layer before the expression was applied.

I'm basically setting up a template project so you just select the countries name and the globe will spin around to that country (for Ole's site)

I wish there was a way of getting values out of expressions to other layers at particular points in the expression!

Say; 'get value for x and y at line 1 of this expression on layer X'!
