CSS transform-style Property

Description

The transform-style property determines how nested (child) elements are displayed in three-dimensional space. By default, all child elements are displayed flat in the two-dimensional plane (they are in the plane of the element itself). To allow nested (child) elements to transform in their own three-dimensional plane, the preserve-3d value of the transform-style property must be used.
