Unable to change soldermask color in 3D mode?

[Pack34]

I think I've run into an odd mode. I can't change the soldermask color while in 3D mode. I also can't change between 2D and 3D mode using the dropdown on the primary toolbar. I have to go to View > 3D mode to switch.

Has anyone run into this?

Did you accidentally delete the view mode on the layer dialog?

Check if you still have the *.config_3D files in the following folder:

C:\Users\Your_username_here\AppData\Roaming\Altium\Altium Designer {Your_GUID_here}\ViewConfigurations

In the same folder check the configuration file named:
RegisteredViewConfigurations.ini

if you still have all the "views" registered.

The content should be like this:
