Positioning the Other Layers
Turn on the visibility for the RockCityLf precomp, and move it toward the camera on the Z-axis. Watch for where the precomp intersects the ground plane. The projection of the ground plane has a bright spot where the lava waterfall meets the ground, so that layer must be positioned on top of that spot (Figure 15-39).

If you carefully move the precomp only on the Z-axis, it will stay in the correct relative position to the other elements, and you can uniformly scale it down to the correct size.
