Where did my 3D go?

[HOOT]

Hello, I've been using SH3D for years. A few days ago, I realized that the bottom 3D portion of my floor plan was gone, and I couldn't figure out how to get it back. All of my plans are now w/o the bottom 3D portion. Please let me know how to turn the bottom 3D back on. I appreciate any help you can give me. Thanks!

You probably accidentally closed it. If you look at the bottom of the 2D view you see there is a bar under it with two tiny arrows on the left. You can drag that bar up to show the 3D view.
If you are not using the latest version the 3D view might not immediately repaint. Just leave the 3D View open and restart Sweet Home 3D. Everything should be OK now.

You're right Keet, thank you! I don't how I hit those microscopic arrows, and have no clue as to `why they're hidden. Thanks again!

Remember those little arrows.
The latest version (7.2) has a great new feature where the 3D View is not updated when the 3D pane is closed. This speeds up working in the 2D window significantly if you have an older PC that is not so fast. Re-opening the 3D pane resumes the 3D View rendering.

Thank you!
