Unable to See Control Rig's controls!!!

Hey fellas,
Whenever I reopen my file with the Control Rig Mannequin , the controls seem to dissapear!
Is this is a bug ? Or am I missing anything ?

Thanks.

Hi, I think it’s a bug.
Try opening a sequence and clicking on any of the tracks of the control rig you want to edit. In my case it brings the controls back.

Cheers

You need to turn OFF the option “Hide Control Shapes”, to find this option you need to change from Selection Mode to Animation Mode and there is the option “Hide Control Shapes”, i hope this help.

You also need to make sure the control rig under the control rig actor in the sequencer is set to active, and not the animation track on the control rig actor.

If you’re a rookie like me then you probably have the same problem as me.
when putting your controlrig in the scene it will create a sequence and the controls appear once you open that sequence :slight_smile:

hope it was as simple for you as for me… perchance

Ran into this issue myself. What worked for me was opening the control rig asset in the content browser and recompiling the code.

None of the above suggestions work for me. Unreal 5.4…created a Modular Control Rig and dragged it into a level but can’t see the control rig. I can manipulate the avatar with the sequencer controls but can’t see the control rig which really slows me down! Any other ideas?

I hope this helps!

I opened the Control Rig here by double clicking it on my Content Drawer.
Then I clicked the compile button and it fixed my issues (Found at top Left for me).
Not sure why it did not auto compile but that’s how I got back those control rig visual lines.

Quick note for newbs…
Control Rig is hidden in Game Mode — first thing to try: click in the main view and press the G key

Hi,

There is a quick fix.

Open your control rig file, then on View Port (Preview Scenes) click on ☰ and check option Show Controls or simple press T.
