If your HUD is offscreen and you would like to retrieve it, follow these steps:
- Create a cube.
- Right click the cube and select More > Attach Hud > Center from the pie menu.
- Move your scroll wheel down or hold Alt + left mouse button and drag your mouse cursor down. The screen reduces and anything offscreen becomes viewable.
- Locate the missing HUD and put it into edit mode by right-clicking on the it and selecting Edit from the pie menu.
- Using the arrows that appear in edit mode, move the missing HUD back onto the screen.
- Scroll the mouse wheel or hold Alt + left mouse button and move the mouse up to bring it back to size.
- Right-click the cube you attached as a HUD and select Detach.
