Hi @Anonymous

Welcome to the Fusion 360 community! 

It is possible that the browser was accidentally hidden - the video below may help you pull it back into view:

At the end of that short loop, I have shown the "Reset to Default Layout" tool (accessed through the File > View menu). If the browser is fully missing and does not appear at all (even in the collapsed form), you may want to try resetting to the default layout - this should bring the browser back.

Hopefully this helps! Please let me know if you have any questions.

Hello 😄

you can show it again by follow these steps

I've tried your steps but am still unable to access the browser. It hasn't collapsed so much as just disappeared completely. The view menu states that it is showing (giving me the option to Hide Browser) but there is nothing there. I've tried restarting the application, and resetting to default view layout. No luck!

'll pre-empt this by saying I'm a complete newbie to Fusion 360 and very much learning the ropes. However, I get a similar issue. My browser regularly disappears for no reason. If it happened once or twice I could believe it was me but it happens all the time for me.

I also know for absolute certain it's not my doing as if I'm in Fusion, everything looking good, then pop into Safari, as I am now, when I go back into Fusion the browser has vanished. It's not a Safari issue as it vanishes with other apps as well.

When I go back into Fusion, under the View menu I see the option to "Hide browser", so Fusion believes it is still visible.

The fix, though annoying, for me is to, from the dropdown, hide the browser and then show the browser and it appears again.

Other info, in case it helps the devs:

The browser is always there for me if I close/open Fusion.

I'm on a MacBook Pro running Monterey 12.1

Happy to check other settings if the devs want more info.

I have the same issue on the same platform.

It looks like the browser isn't gone. It is under the main application window. I can get it back by minimizing the window and bringing it back up.  

I haven't found a work around yet though.

Same for me. This has been much more severe recently. Here is my version info:

2.0.12160
Active Plan: Fusion 360, Subscription
macOS 12.0.1 x86_64 (21A559) on iMac14,2

To get the browser back I do CMD-OPT-B which hides it (even though it's already missing), and then CMD-OPT-B again, which restores it. Unfortunately, the other floating elements are harder to get back.

The same for me on BigSur (MacOs 11.6). The only solution I've found so far is Cmd-Opt-B twice. The same is also happening with the navigation bar (here helps the Cmd-Opt-N shortcut).

Here's a screen capture of the problem. The window starts out correctly with all elements visible, but as soon as I click on the model, the elements disappear. I bring them back, then show them disappearing again.

Having the same with build version 2.0.12164 under Windows 10 and Windows 11 21H2.

Mostly resizing the Fusion window brings it back.
