<p>Maybe your toggle mask / path visibility was off?</p>

<p>I have multiple layers I now wish edit them in 3 dimensions. So I check the 3d layer attribute, but I still cant move the elements in that layer. In a <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kD73GVXwLXg" rel="nofollow noreferrer">youtube video</a> (7:45) i have been following, when the user clicks on the 3d layer option, an axis appears on the the element, and it can be enlarged and moved. </p>

<p>See picture: </p>

<p>However no such axis appears when I check the 3d layer option. Do I need to enable it somewhere in the options?</p>

My after effects is acting really weird, I can't select things using the selection tool anymore, or i can, but there is no visible marker telling me i have selected it, i cant see where my anchor point is either.

I have multiple layers I now wish edit them in 3 dimensions. So I check the 3d layer attribute, but I still cant move the elements in that layer. In a [youtube video](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kD73GVXwLXg) (7:45) i have been following, when the user clicks on the 3d layer option, an axis appears on the the element, and it can be enlarged and moved.

However no such axis appears when I check the 3d layer option. Do I need to enable it somewhere in the options?
