RE: Yet another 5.0 bug - missing viewport buttons

["Brent McPherson" <brentmc(at)Softimage.COM>]

Luke,

 

There is a known bug where clicking on one of the new view layout icons (in the lower left) and then clicking on the 4 view layout icon (in the lower left) will cause the viewport icons to disappear. Clicking again on the 4 view layout icon restores them in this case.

 

In an application like XSI there can be many ways to accomplish the same thing so it is not impossible for something like this to fall through the cracks if the majority of our QA and Beta testers are used to working a different way. (or it could even be a hardware problem as mentioned by someone else) If you can consistently reproduce a problem the best thing to do is send a bug report to support(at)softimage.com

 

Thanks.

I’m puzzled how things like that make it through SI QA team.

That has happened to me in 4.2.  It’s a refresh issue.  Changing the view and changing it back normally does it for me.

It happened to me a few times already when the buttons from a viewport (i.e. Camera and the Eye icons) were missing. The shading menu and camera memory buttons are visible. There seems to be no way to get those buttons back. Quite annoying…
