No problem, in this case, please turn on the Tutorial Mode. It can be found in the iPad’s Settings \> Shapr3D submenu. After turning it on, I’d like to ask you to create a screen recording about the workflow and share it here, or [open a support ticket](https://support.shapr3d.com/hc/en-us/requests/new). Thanks!

_Edit: Please also let us know what version of Shapr3D are you using_

The Settings can be found under the grey gear icon, let me share an article about it: [Find settings on iPad – Apple Support (UK)](https://support.apple.com/en-gb/guide/ipad/ipadba23b9b4/ipados#:~:text=In%20the%20Settings%20app%20%2C%20you,or%20in%20the%20App%20Library)).

After entering the Settings, please scroll down to Shapr3D in the list on the left side, tap on it and you will find a _Display Pencil and touches_ toggle which should be enabled.
