How can we improve After Effects?

After Effects 17.5 Separate 3D Gizmo and the Bounding Box in the 'Handles' option for 'View Options'

We often use Cyclops in order to create behind the scenes breakdowns of our shots. However with the new 3D Gizmo, it's not possible to show bounding boxes of different layers without also having a giant brightly colored 3D Gizmo on every layer as well.

Behind the Scenes footage is a backbone of our studio workflow, so it's a bummer that we won't be able to update and utilize the 3D tools while this is a thing.

At the very least maybe have options for Gizmo size/opacity, something to make it less in your face.

    I agree the Gizmo is too thick and obscures what I am working on. We need some options on this thing.

    It's too big! I can't even see my artwork behind the Gizmo. The old classic one was 1 pixel thin and didn't get in the way. Don't you guys user test your software???

    Would love some cutomize options for the new Gizmo !

    - Size of the all gizmo
    - Thickness of the position and rotation
    - Possibility to turn if off
    - Possibility to choose what options I want to see: Pos and Rot, only Pos, Only Rot...)

    Also now it's really hard to have precision with the anchor tool ( Y ) and this huge Gizmo
