Hey all...I usually hang out in the Carrara section, but toy with Bryce as well... 8^) I am having a problem with a scene I hope you all can help me with. I am working on a "Lady of the Lake" concept with lake (duh...), trees, hills, etc. and a figure in the lake. Problem is this: I frequently shift to a top-down view to look at the placement of my trees and hills and such. When I last worked on this scene last year, I did something (who the hell knows what) and now when I do a top-down view, there is nothing there! It is like I zoomed out a hundred times and all I see is a black dot in the middle of my view. No matter how many times I zoom in, nothing happens! I tried selected all my objects and pasting them into a brand new scene file hoping the problem would go away, but no luck. Does anybody know what the hell happened? Or how to fix it? I guess I could try just selecting the basic objects I need (lake and surrounding terrain) and start a new file with them and re-do everything else in hopes that works, but otherwise I feel like I am going to have to start from scratch! Frustratingly floundering in Bryce.... LOL Headgamer

I don't have a clue. It sounds very strange. The scene shows up okay when you do a camera or director's view?

Absolutely. Looks just fine from those angles, as well as from the sides I believe. But once I go to the top camera, it's goes haywire. And I don't think it is B$, because it doesn't happen with other scenes. Crazy man! Crazy! HG...

I agree Rosh ,Reset views, Is the camera "Locked"or is there a camera memory dot selected? Hawkfyr
