Shape group disappears when I make it a 3D layer ...

So, a strange thing is happening.  I've got a corporate logo that was sent to me as an Illustrator file. 
I dropped it into AE, and selected "Create Shapes from Vector Layer."  So far, so good.
The instant I click to make it a 3D layer (Ray-traced), the shapes vanish.  The wireframe is there, but the shapes themselves aren't visible.  I can extrude the shapes--which is why I made the layer 3D in the first place--but they're all in wireframe mode and I can't figure out how to see them. 
When I create a shape from scratch using the pen tool--in the same composition--I can see it no problemo, extrude it, light it, and everything looks great.
No idea why this is happening with my converted shape group.  Thoughts?  I'm using the latest version of After Effects CC. 

Thanks guys, I figured it out.
The problem is that my original graphic was black.  I applied a tint effect to change all the black text to white, and THEN I converted the layer into shapes ... but apparently After Effects uses the orginal color as the shape's fill ... and against the black background of my composition, the shapes appeared to vanish.  I switced the fill to white and now I can see the shapes like a normal human being.
It usually IS something stupid like that, I guess ...

  • Child groups disappear when moving new region container

    ADF Business Components 10.1.3.42.70

    all,
    here are the steps to reproduce:
    1. create 2 new region containers(named first and second) in you app def
    2. create a child object to the first container such as another region container
    3. drag drop the first container below the second container
    any child objects below the first container should disappear. this seems to be a bug. if you're careful it's avoidable, but it's easy to lose any previous group or container configuration or ordering if you've already created a bunch of regions and would just like to reorganize them using the region containers.

    Paul,
    This happens only when you start dragging around a new element that has not been saved before.
    If you click Apply before dragging a newly created element around, it should work fine.
    Nevertheless, I agree it is a bug, and I have put it on the list to fix for R11.

  • Shapes disappear when editing anchor points (CS5)

    Hello,
    Some of my shapes simply disappear on mouse button release after moving anchor points or adjusting the bezier angle. The edit history does not mention any deletion; the event is registered as "move point" so I can "edit->undo move point" to have my shapes reappear.
    This looks like a bug to me, but I'm quite new to Flash - I may have missed something.

    Here is what they are referring to if this does not happen on everyone's then it is a common enough issue to figure out a solution but as far as I know it has always been this way, if anyone is seeing it differently we should know how they work around it so we can all benefit.
    I agree if you want to draw a shape over other objects say as a clipping mask then you should not have to have a stroke which can be one distracting and two you prevent you from seeing an important small detail that might be important.
    It might also be useful to be able to make this guide vary in width to mimic a stroke to see how it will effect the underlying art. I know why not just use the stroke and give it a color and transparency which is not the point the idea that you are creating art and you want to investigate you possibilities before driving yourself crazy selecting stroke colors and widths is the issue. It is more for the visual process and not finalized art and we are use to using the layer color to let use know what layer it is on so a color will only interfere.
    It would be good to change this behavior and get everyone's input here of how they would like to see this drawing capability improved IMO.
    I think it is a good issue to bring to the surface once again.

  • HT2623 How to make my full name disappear when sending from my primary email address.

    I would like to make my full name disappear when sending from my primary email address. so the recipient when receives my email can see only my email address, i.e. email address of the sender. In Preferences, Accounts, my full name is greyed out and I cannot change it. If I try to do Custom, it would let me change it, i.e. delete my name from Full Name box, but then when Mail is closed and reopened, it would lose the previously saved Custom setting and go back to the same. All my other aliases associated with this email account work ok and the receiver sees only the email address.
    Does anyone know what is going on?

    What if you remove the .mac account from the Accounts panel under mail Preference?
    If that doesn't work, sign into the webmail at me.com, click the "sprocket" button and select preference, in preference go the the aliases tab see if you can remove the email address with your name. If not, go to composing tab see if there is anything you can remove from the +Identity: send email as field+. Good luck.

  • My iCalendar is not syncing repeating events when I make an alteration, it disappears on the next minute

    My iCalendar is not syncing repeating events properly, when I make an alteration, it disappears on the next minute

    This is incredibly frustrating for me too!
    I have a repeated monthly event for a discount at a store that is offered on the first Tuesday of every month. So I have a repeated event taking place on the 1st of every month. In the previous month I reset next month's date from the 1st to whatever date falls on the first Tuesday.
    But ever since upgrading to Yosemite, I am experiencing the same problem as the original person who posted. The date saves on my calendar but does not sync to my iCloud. When I reboot the computer, the date reverts back to the 1st.
    I'm thankful I don't have any events that needed to be tracked because ALL of my previous changes in the past have reverted back to the 1st of the month. I would have been in the same terrible situation as yaz999 in having to manually change every event in previous months.
    Why hasn't this bug been fixed yet???!!!

  • Is there anyway to get an App Tab to stay when I close the program then reopen it?...they always disappear when I open a new window etc.

    Is there anyway to get an App Tab to stay when I close the program then reopen it?...they always disappear when I open a new window etc.
    And I thought the whole point of an App Tab was to always have those tabs there no matter what window is open all the time period.
    It's a minor complaint but I would really appreciate the option to permanently have them there.

    I thought that app tabs would be more persistent, like pinning programs to the taskbar in Windows, but this is not the case.
    Instead, once you close a Firefox window, all its tabs and app tabs are lost.
    Essentially, this means that the close button in the upper-left corner of a Firefox window is now a "kill all open tabs and loose all App Tabs without warning++ " button. That is not cool.
    I realize that "Firefox > Quit Firefox" behaves as intended, but many people use the more obvious red close button instead of the menu to close windows on a Mac. And it is easy to forget that the red button is now also an app-tab-death button. I've lost my app tabs many times to this issue. It is an unforgiving user interface decision which hampers the usability of app tabs. Why should I go through the extra clicks of setting up app tabs if I can loose them so easily?
    Ideally, App Tabs could be saved separately from the currently open windows (perhaps create an option to save then to a special Tab Group that opens on startup?). App tabs would be exceedingly useful to me if they weren't so easy to loose.
    On that note, saving Tab Groups would also be a useful functionality.
    ++ You will get a "closing multiple tabs" warning if you have only one window open, and that one window has multiple non-app tabs open, and you have enabled the warning in Preferences. But this too unreliable to help prevent the loss of app tabs.

  • How do I stop a notify icon appearing multiple times... then disappear when mouse hovers over them

    Hi,
    [Re-posted
    from Outlook Dev Forum]
    I have an Outlook addin which makes use of a System.Windows.Forms.NotifyIcon to display update message without requiring the user to click Okay to dismiss them...etc.
    I declare and create it in the addin class (so not in start up or any other event) as:
    Public WithEvents notifyIcon As New System.Windows.Forms.NotifyIcon
    Then throughout in my code if I need to display a message I use notifyIcon.ShowBalloonTip.  This works great, and I run it off the main thread as well as a syncing background worker thread.  The problem is that when I go down and expand the
    system tray, there are often many clones of the icon I use, which then disappear when I hover my mouse over them.
    I understand this isn't an uncommon problem, and it happens also with new email icons in the system tray.  However, is there any way I can prevent this from happening, or best practices I need to abide by?
    In the Shutdown event I use:
    If notifyIcon IsNot Nothing Then
    notifyIcon.Visible = False
    notifyIcon.Dispose()
    End If
    Any help would be much appreciated, since I can't seem to find any definitive info elsewhere online.
    Thanks!
    Tom
    Note: I don't actually use a windows form with the notifyIcon, I just declare it as above... not sure if that affects anything?

    Would this be the same as using the Application_Quit event for the Outlook addin?  Since I've
    seen that in Outlook 2010 onwards it doesn't call the Shutdown event now anymore, so you need to use the Quit event of the application to do any tidy up.  Maybe that is why the icons are remaining.
    Thanks,
    Tom
    Hello,
    Wyck has shared a nice example with a form event, and for outlook 2010, we could deal with that notifyIcon inside application quit event.
    Based on the document below you shared, it seems that you have found the reason, if that issue still exists, please feel free to let us know.

  • HT5035 I had a balance of $5.30 on my account. It disappeared when I added a $25 gift card. I have tried to get this issue resolved thru email. I need a call back. Where do I look to get a call back number for this issue

    I have already contacted apple thru email, twice. I don't see that they have an option for a call back for a missing iTunes balance, I did however see where I could get a call back(and did) for not being able to sign in on another device to make a purchase. This problem was resolved quickly for this device. I told this rep about the unresolved problem of the missing iTunes balance and he said he could transfer me but the wait times are very long. In my 2 email correspondences on this missing balance issue both times I was told to check my balance history- which does not resolve the issue that I am having to go thru a huge hassle to get my missing balance back prior to my card purchase. I had a balance of $5.86 show on my ipad2 and on my Mac book pro prior to applying the $25 gift card. Then the balance showed only $25 after apply my gift card, now here's what's weird: aprox. A week and a half later I sign in on my iPod touch and shows a balance of $5.30!, but when it has me resign into iTunes that balance disappeared, and the $25 gift card balance shows up. I made NO PURCHASES to use the $5.86/ or $5.30- so I want my money to equal $30.30/ or $30.86 as it should, and I want to not go thru so much to take care of it. To just hope Apple would have a call back option for this type of issue. I won't be buying iTunes gift cards or purchasing thru iTunes if my balance disappears when I do so.

    When you tried to contact Support with the card's images how were you trying to do it, on your phone or a browser on your computer ? And have you tried a different browser to see if you get the same error message ?
    As well as images of the card they might also want an image of its receipt.
    And to contact Support you were using : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ , and clicked on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then iTunes Cards And Codes ?
