<p>In the <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qSX0KKNHt9k" rel="nofollow noreferrer">tutorial</a> video, I saw that there's a Set menu for switching between Orientation and Rotation in AE. Here's a screen.

<p>But I don't have it. There is just rotation and no way to turn on Orientation.

I think you have selected the Selection Tool.

Make a text layer.

Make the layer 3d.

If you select the Rotation Tool, the options shown appear.

If you select the Selection Tool, they disappear.

If you try to use the weird new rotation tool (no idea what it does) that appears to the right, they also do not appear.
