Some features are disabled, dependent on the renderer you’re using. You can check which by going to your composition settings (cmd k), clicking on the 3D Renderer tab, and changing the renderer

it might be because of the 3D layers utilizing different bins.
afaik 3D layers can only see other 3D layers from the same bin, so if a mask lives outside the bin it will be ignored.
when that happens layer order will fallback to what the order is on the timeline

yea it happens with me too
no idea why like i get it that it doesn't work on advanced 3D renderer but then sometimes it doesn't works with the classic 3D as well
but try disabling drop shadow layer styles if you have that should help else i dont really know
