rotation manipulator

[Anonymous]

Hi,

I am not able to use the manipulator for the rotation tool. It works fine when i'm using the move and translation tool but doesn't even show up when i switch to rotation.

Hi!

1. Try "Reset Tool".

2. Try a reset of your preferences.
Rename the folder prefs in folder 2018 to something like prefs_backup, or to reset everything, the folder 2018 to 2018_backup (or even the maya folder to maya_backup). Maya creates new folders (don't copy preferences from previous Maya versions). Detailed at:

3.

- Make sure you use a proper 3D graphic card for Maya.
- Update graphic card driver (maybe just re-install after an OS update), or
- downgrade graphic card driver.
- Preferences -> Display -> Viewport 2.0:
Try different Viewport modes / Render engine settings like "DirectX".
