I just spend 2 hours on an armature and when it was done i saved it and quit blender. Now when I try to open it there’s no armature in my viewport, however in the outliner it’s still there including all the bones. But when I select it in the outliner it just shows as a orange dot. I checked all the different layers but its just not there. I also tried restarting blender but it didnt help either :(.
Heres a screenshot of my interface with in the top right corner the outliner.
Viewport header indicates there’s something on layer 2. Did you accidentally move it there?
Edit: I missed that you checked all the layers. Can you post the blend file?
Edit2: Look in the Relations panel. You moved the armature to another Bone Layer.
Actually I just fixed it. I don’t really understand how it happend, but I opened the 2.53 file in 2.49 where it DID show up. Then i saved it under a new name and opened in 2.53 and now it works again. I don’t understand how it happend but I’m glad I didn’t have to start over
