Can't unhide objects

Anonymous — Tue, 21 Feb 2017 11:13:48 GMT

I'm trying to unhide objects but unfortunately maya won't let me do it.

I already tried Display > Show > All and set the attribute visibility to Checked.

Did i missed something?

Hi!

Maybe the mesh (shape) below the transform node is hidden.

Open the tree at pCylinder1 ...

It appears that the shape you're looking for is either missing or hidden in the outliner. You could use the Node Editor to see what's missing.

Have you check the visibility on pCylinderShape1?

There`s a fix, in the outliner select all items and then press Shift +H, the problem came when you have a loot of meshes in the scene probably the outliner doest show all of them so need to verify in the trees of each geometry if theres something hiden, select them and press shift H again, thats so anoying but thats a parcial solution. I losted a lot of work for that inconvenience, and isolate button doesnt work well because doesnt allow to create meshes in that mode, so....in conclusion dont press alt+H in a complex scene.
