Pitcher Posted July 20, 2014 Share Posted July 20, 2014 Front view is upside down. All other views and shortcut to camera display correctly. I don't know what I pushed. I cannot find a way to turn the front view right side up. This is not a camera issue as far as I can see. I've done two searches in the forum and did not find this question answered. This is probably something simple, but it hasn't happened to me before. I did not save. I closed out the project and started the file up again in a different project, but the front view still displays upside down, while all other views display correctly.

Hash Fellow robcat2075 Posted July 20, 2014 Hash Fellow Share Posted July 20, 2014 That's a new one! By "front view" you mean number pad 2, right? If you start a blank new project with nothing in it is the front view still upside down? Just to try (that's what I say for random ideas that probably just cover old ground but cost nothing to try)... in the chor view... >View>Front to choose the front view without the number pad key. If that doesn't change anything I think it's time for good ol' Help>Reset Settings Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pitcher Posted July 20, 2014 Author Share Posted July 20, 2014 Thanks, Robert! The new blank project is not upside down in front view, but I don't want to toss away the old project because I have quite a few hours invested in it. Isn't there some control for making front view (number pad 2) go back to right side up? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fuchur Posted July 20, 2014 Share Posted July 20, 2014 never ever heard of such a thing... did you try to save your chor and import it into a new project? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do Project>Embed All and save the PRJ under a new file name and send it to me as an attachment in a personal message. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pitcher Posted July 21, 2014 Author Share Posted July 21, 2014 Robert, I tried to send you the project file about five minutes ago, but I received an error message that it could not be sent because you were not receiving any messages. The project file is about 41 MB long. Gerald Zum Gahr, I tried saving the chor file and importing it into another chor file, and that corrected the problem. Thanks!!!

Fuchur Posted July 21, 2014 Share Posted July 21, 2014 Cool . In general you could use CTRL + Turn-Tool to rotate the view around, but in general this would reset if you reaccess the front view... See you *Fuchur* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hash Fellow robcat2075 Posted July 21, 2014 Hash Fellow Share Posted July 21, 2014 The project file is about 41 MB long. Something is wrong there. That's unusually large. Is the file you saved with Fucher's instructions smaller? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pitcher Posted July 21, 2014 Author Share Posted July 21, 2014 All I did with Fucher's instructions was to save the file as usual (not the "embed all" instruction) and then import the file into a new choreography opened in a new project. I think what made the file so big I was sending to you was the "embed all" instruction. I was making a movie poster with almost all of my characters and a couple of major sets from the movie. I think there were about 80 characters. The regular chor file is 433 KB. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hash Fellow robcat2075 Posted July 21, 2014 Hash Fellow Share Posted July 21, 2014 I'm glad the problem is solved! Save your old files, someday it may be interesting to figure out what the problem was. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pitcher Posted July 22, 2014 Author Share Posted July 22, 2014 Thank you, Robert, for your suggestions. I guess the chor file got corrupted some way when I was working on it. Importing the content into a new chor file restored the functionality. I'm not sure why I wasn't able to send you the "embed all" file. The error message said that you were not receiving messages. I noticed you were not online at the time, but it surprises me that the message wasn't just put on a server like an email or something. I don't know how the forum software functions. It was a surprise to me that I could even send you a personal message with an attachment, and it took a minute or two to find it. I guess with as many questions as I seem to have, I will know all about the forum in a short time. Fucher, I'm not sure what a control-turn tool is. I tried control and arrow keys, but that doesn't seem to be it. What's the other key? Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fuchur Posted July 22, 2014 Share Posted July 22, 2014 - Hit "T" or click on the Turn-Button. - Press CTRL, click and hold the left mousebutton in a modeling / action / chor-window and move your mouse. See you *Fuchur* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
