# Basic Sceneplanning Concepts

With the Sceneplanning views, Toon Boom Studio has added a new dimension to the layout process by allowing you to plan your 2D scenes in a 3D space.

The 3D space is described in terms of three planes:

- EW: maps the horizontal plane in terms of East and West, this is the X coordinate.
- NS: maps the vertical plane in terms of North and South, this is the Y coordinate.
- FB maps the depth of the plane in terms of Front and Back, this is the Z coordinate.

When you move, rotate, or scale your 2D elements in the 3D space, Toon Boom Studio automatically applies the changes to all of the contents in the element.
