Camera Tools/Shelves missing after force quit
 

Hi all, I'm wondering if someone could help me with this problem. After I had force quit Maya, I restarted, had to rebuild everything. Now I'm missing the camera tools, I played around a bit but don't know how to restore them.
I've been googling this with not much luck,
thanks in advance to anyone who can help!

I'm on a powerpc mac osx.

Which camera tools are you talking about?

the ones on the main menu, for moving, rotating, zooming in/out etc.

……

That’s not very specific…… Can you post a screenshot? :confused:

sure..now that I realize it, all my shelves are empty as well.damn

the same thing Happened to me a really long time ago when I had to force quit maya. I was able to restore the shelf/camera tools somehow, but I forget how I did that.

Well, I still don’t know what you mean by the camera controls. You might want to reinstall Maya if those shelves are like that.

What version of OSX are you running?

you've never worked with cameras in maya before? you can pan, rotate, etc. those tools are usually in that area that is blank on the screeenshot. anyway, I can't reinstall.

running osx 10.4.9

:headbang:

Pan and rotate in the perspective view? Is that what you mean?

BTW, why can’t you reinstall it? :confused:

Just reset your Maya settings by deleting the settings folder. Maya's help files should have detailed instructions on how to do that for OS X.

got it! on osx it was actually the preferences folder, thanks architect

So you got everything to work now?

I had this problem 2 weeks ago and went insanely nuts :P dont know the exact way i got it back up though i remember i just hit space bar and it was either under view or panels,
