parts disappearing while being there

[cekuhnen]

I start noticing that when you move parts around in the timeline

they can disapear.

The orange rectangle shows where a wood part should be.

It is not there. Also not listed in the browser.

When I highlight the base feature it is there.

When I edit the base feature it is there.

When I exit it - it is gone!

File: Where are you?

what is crasy is when I edit the base feature move it copy and paste it it still goes away and now even in the feature preview the first lower body is missing!

File: Where are you2?

EDIT: Crazyness - after posting this the part apeard ...

File: There you are!

I'm not sure there was ever a bug here.

In both cases, Where are you and Where are you 2, the "missing" body can be found inside the "wood parts" folder under bodies. Looking at the other wood parts inside this folder it makes sense to find it here. Perhaps this was a case where the visibility of the part was "on" during base feature, but was somehow "off" during timeline edit. This is possible because the two areas have different visibility states.

I'm not sure why the body is moved outside the Wood Parts folder in the file There you are. Perhaps when you were copying and pasting things you pasted it there.

Please do let us know if you run into issues like this in the future.

Thanks,

Because this is now 7 month ago I really do not recall the details anymore.

However visibility issues I experienced here and there in the timeline and browser often on numerous projects. So this was not the only case.

I will keep you posted.
