3D Rig View Tilts After Pressing Play¶
Summary¶
A chat report says that after clicking Play in 3D Rig View, the view/rig tilts. No clear resolution was extracted. This page preserves the symptom for later correlation with camera FOV, lens/zoom state, rig model, or Flair 7 version-specific viewer bugs.
Symptoms¶
- 3D Rig View looks correct before Play
- After Play is clicked, the view or camera tilts unexpectedly
- May be version-specific

[LIKELY] Supporting context — what "the reset arrow" is¶
From tutorial video, added 2026-08-29
Ben Myers' suggested fix references "the reset arrow in the 3D viewport." The official Flair 7 tutorial "26 - Explaining the 3D Rig model display in Flair 7" confirms this control exists and explains what it does: a reset button in the 3D Rig View's camera-settings corner menu restores the view to its default camera perspective whenever the viewport ends up in an unexpected orientation or position.
"Sometimes you can get your view in a pickle or you kind of end up being in some strange location you can't quite work out how to get back to what it should be — there's a reset button here if you press it, it goes back to the default view." — 26 - Explaining the 3D Rig model display in Flair 7
This does not confirm the specific "tilts after Play" trigger reported here — the video does not reproduce or discuss that symptom — but it does verify that the community's suggested workaround (the reset button) is a real, general-purpose control for recovering the 3D Rig View from any stuck/odd camera state, which supports treating it as a reasonable first response.

WhatsApp Excerpts¶
- 2026-03-13 00:51 - Timothy Heys Cerchio: You mean horizon on the Rig View?
- 2026-03-13 00:52 - ~ Ante: Yes. After I click play in 3d rig view it tilts
- 2026-03-13 00:54 - Timothy Heys Cerchio: Strange, I haven't seen that happen before...
- 2026-03-13 02:06 - Ben Myers: Mine does this all the time. If you click the reset arrow in the 3D viewport, it’ll fix it. Sometimes it comes back again and you just reset it again.
