FCP X - "Outline" option not showing in Text Inspector

The "Outline" option is no longer showing in the Text Inspector.


I have tried opening a new project but the problem persists, the "Outline" option is only showing in the Text Inspector on previous projects/Events.


Is there somewhere I can edit what options are available in the Text Inspector?

If 3D Text is selected, there is NO outline option. In 3D Text, Outlines are created with the Front Edge option (and usually with a different "material"). However, that might be difficult to find because when you select 3D Text, you also (always) have to go out to the right of that option and select Show to see those parameters (Depth, Weight, Front and Back Edges, etc.)
