Shaping tab is blank...?

Aabacus

I have two Macs. One of them has decided that it no longer wants to show shaping options. The other is fine...wait...

Hol' up....hol' up...   

Solved before posting but maybe this will help someone else...

If you're not seeing what you're looking for be sure to check ALL tabs around a section. There are tabs on the sides AND on top. 

Personally, I can't say i'm a fan of this interface but, honestly, I have no feedback to the designers so I'm going to relegate my opinion to that of moderate whining about having to learn something.   

Check the Window -> Panes (Tabs) to make sure you've not hidden something from yourself. 

Also...try clicking something in the scene (a figure or prop for example) as some of the gizmos don't show unless something is selected.

Finally...learn how the context sensitive filters work.   

I'm constantly hiding things from myself...and I have more than a couple years of experience.

You can make the interface / workspace to be almost anything you want.

I'm not one for customizing my workspace but, yes, this is absolutely true! I do make some tweaks. In this instance I'd accidentally clicked a tab (presets) and didn't notice. Couldn't understand why my shaping tab was empty. Ha!  

Live an learn.

I'm not sure you understand what is possible. If you look ubnder Window>Workspace>Select Layout you can see several from DAZ to start. You can also customize and save. I have attached a screenshot of mine. It is large.
