Bought some artwork and while trying to adjust it on my walls in a rented apartment, it appeared to go through the wall and then disappeared. I dont see it outside and it hasnt come back to my lost and found. Is there any way to track down stuff that Ive lost?

Thanks!

Its probably IN the wall.. If you can move the wall slightly, or move your camera into the wall and grab hold of the artwork, you should be able to move it back in place..

Some of the Debug options are great for this kind of task.

Hit CTRL-ALT-D to bring up the Debug menu (Top of your screen next to help)

Click Debug // Rendering // Hide Selected

With that option selected, anything you right-click & edit will turn 'invisible'.

That will let you edit the wall, make it disappear - and see what's stuck inside.

Once you're done, just go back into Debug and unselect 'Hide Selected' to turn this off.

Hope this helps! :)

I had similar issues yesterday while placing some photos about my place. In each of three instances, the artwork in question never seemed to rez at all and then about an hour or so later (significantly longer in one case of the three) the photo appeared in a random spot in the general vicinity of where I was working, but varying degrees of separation from the actual rez location.
