I started the second phase of the starters tutorial in which you have to animate the Ginger bread man on Blender.While i was adding armutures i read something about pressing ctrl,N and 3 .When i did that with the lower leg armature selected .The ginger bread man vanished and all i could see were the armutures i had placed there in his shoulders and legs .What happened did i mess up? .Now would i have to start the Ginger bread man tutorial entirely from the beginning again?Any body?

try ctrl-h but not sure what you might have pressed.

i pressed ctrl-n and 3 .Thats when my ginger bread structure disappeared leaving only the few armitures placed there:(

3 on the num pad is the side view. Maybe it moved the view so you can not see the model?

The Ginger Bread structure is just not
there any more…

oh also sorry the numbers at the top of the keyboard are the layer numbers so you probably switched to layer 3 and your mesh is on layer 1. So click the first layer or #1.
