Noob Trouble

It’s nothing too major I’m just having alot of trouble with it.
I decided to practice some animation and rigging with a preliminary model of a character for a game I am working on. This model is an early version of the main character made by someone else so I thought it would be perfect for me to practice with.

The problem is that apparently during their modelling of the character they changed some of the normal settings that I am not used to.
I can no longer move or resize the main views. Since I am learning about armature and animation that’s a bi problem o_O

I read through some of the stuff on here and messed around with it myself for about thirty minutes so any help would be appreciated.

When I append the file to a new file, the settings come along with it so yea… tried that. Anyway thanks in advance

You can append only specific objects to a new .blend file of your liking, instead of appending the whole scene, go to the objects folder and select what you want from there.

In alternative, try using the keys CTRL and LEFT or RIGHT ARROWS with the original file.

ctrl + up and down fixed the problem. thanks
