  • Lost the 3D green and red arrows

    Posted by Vincent Strader on July 30, 2010 at 4:25 pm

    I accidentally clicked the R button and now I can’t get the 3D red and green arrows to come up. I can start over, but I’d really like to avoid that.

    CMD Z – Undo isn’t working or bringing back the 3D arrows. When I click on the 3D button in the control panel nothing happens.

    Any idea of what I’m talking about? Any suggestions?

    Thanks,
    Vinnie

    Click the little arrow in the top right corner of the comp viewer panel, go to “view options” and check the boxes that say something like “show camera & light controls”.

    Not sure what clicking R had to do with anything since it’s just the keyboard shortcut to show the rotation properties of the selected layer.

    Note all that CMD-Z clicking was in fact doing something, just not what you wanted since changing viewing options isn’t an un-doable thing … you might want to check that the last however many actual changes you made to your comp(s) weren’t undone.

    This happened to me too and it was driving me nuts. I went to the ‘tools’ menu and re-checked ‘show axis’
