Help with viewing problems!!!
« on: October 27, 2009, 02:17:41 pm »
To start off... I'm very new to this software.  I had been making this skeleton for hours but need to rotate the view to edit it from another angle. I had been having trouble with this until discovered the arc rotator thing. I activated it at with the quick flick of my mouse, the skeleton I had been working on disappeared somewhere far away in the 3d workspace. Is there an easy way to find it?!!!

 IF your skeleton is 1 piece, you could try 'edit -> locate -> stand on origin'
 If its made with more than 1 piece, then do as mak has said.
 Hit 'f', which will frame your object(s)
