  3. My object disappears when I try to move it in paint 3D

    It seems like the object might be outside the editable area of the Paint 3D canvas.

    Here are a few steps to try:

    1. Go to the top menu in Paint 3D and click on "View".

    2. Select "Reset camera" to bring the object back into view.

    If this doesn't work, look at the bottom right corner of Paint 3D where you'll find a list of objects in your project. Click on the object's name in the list to select it, then use the move tool to reposition it to the center of the canvas.

    Also, ensure the object isn't grouped with other elements. If it is, ungroup it and try moving it again.
