Hi @Anonymous and welcome to the community!

 

Are you missing the Type Tool?

 

If so it's possible the plug-in hasn't been loaded. To fix this, go to Windows->Settings/Preferences-> Type Tool and make sure it is loaded and auto-loaded.

Hi. I'm having trouble. I still can't find the 3D type tool. It's not letting me Load it. It lets me select Auto Load.. but not Load. What does that mean??

Hi @Anonymous and welcome to the community!

 

You may want to try closing Maya and deleting your settings/preferences.

 

Once you've done that, launch Maya and try and load the Type tool plug-in.

 

Please let me know if this works or if you need any more assistance!
