Cannot select/move model?

[Kakkun]

Can anyone help me? I just loaded up SFM today and I think the interface has changed (i.e. I don't remember there being symbols for Camera/Objects on the left).

And now I can't move my model at all!

Am I doing something wrong?? I am trying to hold Ctrl, but no joints are showing up. I've tried interchanging from Transition to Rotate and the other Circular tool but to no avail. I have selected the model on the right and attached it with a rig... nothing.

It was working fine yesterday and I could easily pose the model in different intervals.

Anyone else having the same problem?

- Many thanks.

EDIT: I should mention that I have even tried deleting the animation preset on the left for the model but the model still remains in the timeline from then onwards. Confused.

Hello, thanks for the suggestion but my animation was only on it's 13th second and the video didn't highlight the inability to select the model, but it was good to know anyway as I have watched some of Jimer Lins videos before.

Anyway, I had fired it up again, double clicked the Shot in the Clip Editor. Didn't touch anything. Went to the Motion Editor, scrubbed the green selection to where I wanted to and clicked my model on the Animation Set Editor. And it actually selected as it was supposed to.

I had closed and re-opened the program before posting this, but without success! I wish I knew what had happened cause I have a feeling it's going to be a recurring problem.

From the image it looks as if you have a different clip selected than the one you're trying to work on.

Play head must be on the clip you're trying to move the camera in. Camera must be selected in the Animation Set Editor. If the camera does not exist in the ACTIVE clip, you have to create an animation set for it in the active clip.

This doesn't work for me... I've tried everything and I just created a new session >:( Whenever I try to move or rotate even when I selected it in the right timepoint it still doesn't want to show the cursor. Please help!

Where are you on the timeline, beyond the 60 second mark?

[Pipedream]

Nevermind I fixed it.. I was beyone the 60 second mark though. Why is there a 60 second mark?

[R234]

There is no 60 second mark. It's a side effect of the fact all animation sets have channel tracks (which can be accessed by double clicking the shot in clip editor mode), and such tracks are created to not extend too far outside the shot's boundaries. Extending a shot does not automatically adjust those, which means all animation sets that were created beforehand can become unresponsive shortly after the shot's original length.

The problem most often occurs around the one minute mark because most users keep blading and extending the original shot that comes with a new project (which so happens to be 60 seconds long) instead of creating new ones.

I guess whoever set it had the same attitude Bill Gates had when he first started to develop computers, "Who would need more than 8 Kilobytes of Memory??"
