I am routing a PCB in Altium 21.
I cannot seem to figure out how to show component outlines and designators on the PCB.
As of now components only show the pads.
How do I enable the component outline and designators in the 2D PCB view?

Hit Shift-S to make sure you are not in single layer mode. Then hit L and select the layers you want to see. (another way to get to it is through design->boardlayers and colors)
While in this mode you can choose standard views, create your own (with your own colors) or select which layers are visible.
