solid disappears or moves away when editing solid

[mahmoudsmonem]

Hey guys

 

When I try to edit a solid object, the context is not visible even when show others is on, layer + classes set to view all, the base solid is away from where it is

 

and it is impossible to edit/extrude the solid directly if I don't see the context.

 

any ideas?

Is 'Show Other Objects...' disabled?

Thank you Tom

 

Sorry I was not clear enough

but this is not what I meant, I want to make a shortcut to view others as grey or as it is
