  Groups Ghosted/Locked – Cannot Turn On or Off

  Posted by Matt Jones on February 5, 2010 at 2:05 pm

  Hey Guys,

  Been using Motion for several years and consider myself pretty proficient, but yesterday something happened that I can’t seem to undo.

  I was working on a sizable project with multiple groups, when all of the sudden, all my groups are “ghosted”. I cannot toggle them on or off. Only one group is “On”, and it cannot be toggled off.

  I feel like I must have inadvertently hit something while using keyboard shortcuts…anyone have any ideas on how to undo what I did?

  Thanks in advance!

  You’ve solo’ed a group. Select all, go to the Object menu, choose Unsolo, see if that does it for you.

  See if you did not lock the group by mistake. See the padlock next to the group, it should be open is not select it and click on it to unlock.
  I hope this helps.

  Thanks guys for the help! Mark was right, I had inadvertently solo’ed a group. I followed his instructions and was back in business. Thanks again for the help, it was much appreciated!
