DMJRestorations Posted April 21, 2020 Share Posted April 21, 2020 I don't know why, but I can no longer see a preview of a material or object from my library browser. I need to see the preview that I used to see, especially when selecting brick and tile. I'm sure there is a missing check box or something somewhere, but I can't find it. Any assistance would be GREATLY appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any assistance would be GREATLY appreciated. at the bottom of your library browser are 7 child buttons. hover over the right one ( preferences) and click. uncheck the "hide selection" "hide preview" boxes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
961529317 Posted May 23, 2020 Share Posted May 23, 2020 I have the same problem, but the Hide Selection and Hide Preview Boxes are unchecked. I still don't have a preview pane to view the objects. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heather_Anderson Posted December 2, 2020 Share Posted December 2, 2020 Josh and Eric, Thank you I just got back to this. I didn't put quotes in that's why I couldn't get the right answer. I did, and now it is reset. Thank you both! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TimZ_at_JnJ Posted January 29, 2021 Share Posted January 29, 2021 My coworker is currently having this same issue on X11 (and isn't as "tech savy", thus I'm trying to help him). I've matched his settings to mimic mine on X12 (uncheck Hide Selection Pane, uncheck Hide Preview Pane, etc), Reset Toolbars, Reset Side Windows all while closing and reopening the program after each attempt.

TimZ_at_JnJ Posted January 29, 2021 Share Posted January 29, 2021 Selection and Preview pane do not show up. Attached is a screen shot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dermot Posted January 29, 2021 Share Posted January 29, 2021 In X12, the "Reset Side Windows" tool should restore the sizes of the preview and selection windows back to the system defaults. In X11 and prior, you may have to do this manually. Just pull the very hard to see resize handle up as shown in the picture below or in Eric's video above.

TimZ_at_JnJ Posted January 29, 2021 Share Posted January 29, 2021 O wow. From where I was standing looking over his shoulder, I couldn't see that those "lines" were showing down there. In fact, even now as I went to see if that was the cure, I had to be inches from the screen to see them (maybe I should get my eyes checked). Had I known that, I probably could have figured this out without hassling everyone. Thank you very much for the help, from my coworker and I!
