Lost image.

in Technical Help (nuts n bolts)

Help desperately needed here please. I am working my wat through the user guide, I note co-incidentally, that the guide is for 4.6 and I am using 4.9. Anyhow, to the point. I have reached page 26 - 26, gaining confidence and clicking away like a maniac when suddenly I've lost the image I was working with. I tried clicking some more to try to reverse what I had done but without success. I tried 'File - New' and started a new practice run but the same problem exists. It seems that the image disappears when the program is in 'Actors, Wardrob and Props' I think I need to know how to re-set DAZ to it's original 'factory settings' is there  way to re-set DAZ or will I have to delete the program and the re-download.

Thanks in advance for your help and assistance.

Robert.

    You closed the viewport - you can reopen it from Window>Pans(Tabs)>Viewport, and redock it by dragging its top frame border until there's aline of highlight colour along the top edge of the empty space. Or reload you layout from Window>Workspace>Select Layout

    Thank you Richard. I did the reload latout option and all appears to be fine. Thank God for people who know what they're doing.

    You have a nice day.

    Robert.

    Here's a related question. I did something silly, and almost fell asleep while working in DAZ 4.9. I somehow messed up my whole layout. I managed to get most of it back the way I want it, but one thing remains. I was trying to restore the left window to the default settings - I even uninstalled and reinstalled DAZ, but the reinstall retained my layout errors. What I have now is one set of Panes (Tabs) on the left instead of two. I want to be able to see the Scene tab above and the Parameters (for example) below in that left-hand area. How do I do that? Is it that I'm trying to create a new pane group?

    Oops.... [embarrassed]... it is related because one of the things that happened was, for the longest time I couldn't get the floating group of panes docked again; Richard's advice to the OP ultimately helped do that. (I had to dock them one at a time.) But this nagging last question remains.

    Move the lower tab out, by dragging its tab, then drag it by the top edge of the frame under the existing frame until you see a line of the highlight colour, then release the mouse. You can also restore layouts (that are the defaults or have been saved) from Window>Workspace>Select Layout.

    Maybe first reset the layout by loading in a default Workspace Layout. This can be done with Main-Menu: Window > Workspace > Select Layout then choose City Limits and start from scratch with rearanging the panes. To avoid problems later save your Workspace Layout once or add new ones.
