Hello,


Has this happened to anyone?? I throw a primitive into modeller view and an empty vbScript object. The vbScript object is visible in LE, but not the primitive (primitive is visible on the modeler view). When I switch to Player View, my primitive disappears from the window. Switching back to Player view doesn't make it reappear. Has my TS installation become corrupt or something?

It sounds like you have the bridge disabled. Are you in full layout as this will automatically disable the bridge? Changing to the default layout will quickly check if this is the case.


Objects only appear in the LE if they are in the Player view and the bridge transfers object between the Model and Player. Disable bridge and place an object in Model view - the object will not appear in the LE or Player view.


If the bridge is enabled then it's possible you've requested objects to be hidden from the LE, though it sounds unlikely from your description.

Actually, I was in Default Layout when this happened. I changed to Full Layout to see if it made any difference, but it didn't. Might there be another way to disable/enable the bridge? I think this might be what's causing the problem. I will uninstall/reinstall the app, just to be sure.


Thanks.

A re-install is a bit drastic. Go to the Preferences view in the stack and select "On" or "Auto" for the BridgeSync. If the Bridge was off, you will be asked where to synchronise from - the Player or the Model. Whichever you select will get copied to the other.

Actually, I reinstalled and the problem was solved. By perhaps next time I will do as you said.
