Trajectory display for the ball

12 Play the animation.
You see the ball bouncing onto the box and off, following the trajectory.

Try Layout mode:
If you turn off Auto Key and move the dummy, you will be moving the entire
animation in space. When both Auto Key and Set Key are off, you are working
in what is known as Layout mode. Here you will use Layout mode, so that
instead of the ball bouncing on the block, the ball bounces off the letter F.

1 Turn off Auto Key Mode.
The red disappears in the time slider background and viewport outline.

2 Move the dummy object back toward the text.
3 Watch the position of the trajectory and move the dummy until the
bounce point of the trajectory intersects the top of the letter F.
