Is there a way to force a translator to move a section box at a specific point in a video, based on timestamp in the video, not interaction with other elements?

I'm trying to create a 4D video of a building being erected using the phasing function. My camera is panning around the building, and as the columns and floors are showing up, I'd like to have a section box move from the ground plane to above my building to give the illusion of the building being erected more smoothly. I've gotten it to work randomly once or twice, but cannot figure how to get the translator to move the section box consistently when I want it to. Am I missing something obvious?

Hi ,

Without setting up a trigger tied to an environment object, there isn't a way to do this at this time. Right now, any animation using translators or rotators that aren't tied to triggers will always play at the start of a video. You would need to use an environment trigger, like the camera or a custom path object entering the trigger radius to control it otherwise.
