In my 2018 version of After Effects I am missing a number of tools in the Comp window including the 3D layer switch. Can anyone tell me how to turn it on.

This is how mine looks

This is what I'm missing

Can anyone help

Cheers Flash

      Read up on the UI. Press F4 to switch between Modes and Switches column or use the icons at the bottom of the timeline.

        Add the bottom of your screen you will see "Toggle Switches / Modes". Simply click on this and you will find the icon for the 3D layer again.

          Worked for me. Thank you!

          The F4 did not work, anyone knows why?
