3D Object flattens when I create a new Layer?

[CparryUk]

Hey all, I've recently had a problem with photoshop 3D. Once I've imported the 3D object I want to texture and I create a new layer to paint on (before flattening) when I return to the 3D panel to move/rotate the object, it shows the following : https://gyazo.com/e1e470a5f68e8ad3ac2794d2d638c85a and has become a flat 2D layer it seems. I'm not sure if I have accidentally changed a setting which is causing this or not, any ideas of what could be going wrong? Thanks

3D tools do not work on normal layers. It will only work on 3D layers. So, when you create a normal new layer it means you have gone back to 2D.
Either you can paint directly on your 3D model using the brush tool or if it is a complex model you have to split the textures and paint them on like Diffuse, spec, bump, etc.
