I have an issue with the metal brackets on the front when attempting to add detail. I've managed to remove the backside lock and tabbed into edit mode so I could edit my other metal panels. But as soon as I do they all disappear and I have nothing to edit? I also turn off all of the mirror axes leaving only one object... but as soon as I tab into edit mode... again... gone! Nothing to edit! Any ideas what is happening here?
Thanks

I would expect that they are being created by a modifier and when going into edit mode that modifier is not active so they don't show up.
You could try saving a new version of the file, apply your modifiers and then try.
Thanks for your reply however I have already tried applying the modifiers (so that I can edit the geometry). As soon as I do... it all disappears. And I just left with an origin point and that's it... no geo at all. :) Gotta laugh :) I think I might have to just try a different wy... but it's late now here so I'll try tomorrow... thanks.
I think I had something similiar once. I had moved the geometry a long ways away from the origin. You might try putting the orgin to geometry, and then hitting numpad " . " to go to it
ddougieladd :try ALT+H in Edit Mode.
If you hide something in Edit Mode, it will still be visible in Object Mode. Whether that is a whole Mesh or only part of it.
This can sometimes really trip you up ;)
Let me see if I can upload images....
One - As you can see I've applied modifiers...
Two - When I Tab into Edit Mode... Gone!
Three - no geo anywhere... even when I zoom right out.... even checked Local Mode in case it was that.
I think if no one is able to spot the issue I'm just going to do this without mirror modifier.
Thanks
