2 Sided Drop Zone was created by damiangrady
Anyone know how to create a 2 sided drop zone? I need to flip a square with one drop zone on one side and a separate one for the back.
Any help would be appreciated.

like that?
(see attached pic)
Two Dropzones, and when the rotating square passes the 'zero line', you set DZ1 off, and DZ2 on ....

Clever! Thanks Karsten.
What's the behaviour you've used? I can't make it out.

ja, for the screenshot I haven't switched to English interface, ... sorry!
That's Behaviors/Basic Motion/Spin
I LOVE using Behaviors - even complex, intricated motions are instantly in real time avail....
Glad I could help

Not sure what turning layers off and on is about, that overly complicates things, no need at all. Keep it short and simple.
Two drop zones in one 3D Group, must be 3D. You rotate the Group. But place one drop zone a pixel behind the other. If one is at X:0, Y:0, Z:0, the back side will be same coordinates but Z:-1. Then just rotate the group as needed. Works great.
You may have to rotate your rear Drop Zone 180 degrees to make it appear right-side-up when the Group rotates.
In this example (should be self-explanatory), I used a Rate parameter behavior for the rotation X parameter on the Group layer.

Thanks BenB. That's another great way of doing it.
However, for some reason, I've made a group 3D but don't get a Z transform property. See attached.
EDIT. Sussed it. I was being an idiot.
