I am used to looking at a layer above the base layer (in development) and seeing the base layer objects either grayed or in color. The Dim check box is unchecked, and yet none of the base layer objects appear when I click on the layer. I am building a screen with objects, and when object is clicked, a text box on a layer appears. So alignment is very important. I cant line up the layer text box with the base layer click object, without seeing it. Very strange.
Both base layer and text box layer are set to not hide each other.
check out this tutorial about working with layers - see the topic Showing, Hiding, and Dimming Layers in the Editor towards the bottom of the tutorial - about locking/unlocking visibility. Just try clicking the eye icon against the Base layer and see if it works.
Yes. Check the LAYERs master slide to see if there is anything blocking the view to the base layer. Do this by right clicking on the layer in the Slide Layers list. Then select a Blank Layer master slide. I am thinking that due to the conversion from Storyline 2 to Storyline 360 the conversion put in the Master Slide layout that wasnt blank. Hope this helps.
Hello Linda - I took a peek at Keith's case above and it seems that the layout being used on the layer had an image that was covering the contents of the base layer. Not sure if that assists you as well or if you'd like to share your .story file so that we could take a look.

Thanks Wendy. Did that first to no avail. I guess I need to submit a ticket.
Looks like you reached out to our support team (01040305) and Cleo is taking a look. You should hear something soon.
Welcome to E-Learning Heroes Keith :)
Any response on this yet? Same thing is happening for me. Settings are to not hide base layer...
I have not had this problem before...

Oh, looks like refresh failed me - thanks for chiming in and sharing Keith :)
