    When I click the 3d icon in the timeline the tutorial says I should see red, green and blue arrows in the composition. These do not show up. What have I missed?

    Yes, it is highlighted. No arrows in the composition.

    The arrows show up on the lower left side but the tutorial shows them in the middle of the panel along with the anchor point. I see neither in the panel itself, just the arrows at the left lower edge. Visabilaty is on.

    There are two differnet kinds of 3D axes: those attached to a layer to show you which way it is oriented, and those associated with a viewer, to show you which way the world is oriented.

    See this page:
    “Show or hide 3D axes and layer controls”

    Check your view options. While in the Comp viewer (make sure it’s the active pane) go to View > View Options and make sure that the upper section has its checkboxes in order.

    Thanks @Darby Edelen. I must have hit a quick key to turn off the axis. Your suggestion solved it:

    Click on the Composition Window.
    View–>View Options–>Checkbox Layer Controls
