Vertex Manipulation Created 18 years ago2006-06-01 19:07:47 UTC by Fortran

Hi Guys,

If I create a primitive and then enter the vertex tool I can move all vertices and edges and create faces with no problem in all viewports,

HOWEVER,

if I change vertex mode (ie from edges+vetices to just edges) Or exit vertex mode and re-enter it I can no longer select or move ANYTHING in the 2D viewports ??? The 3D viewport still allows me to select things and move them, but obviously trying to position veritces in the 3D port is very tricky!! Everytime I try to select any of the vertices or edges in the 2D ports I just get the selection marquee (that always stays on the screen!!) and am unable to select or move anything. The only solution is to then re-start hammer and continue!!

Has anybody else run into this problem ? I am using Hammer 3.4 (Build 1983)

Huge thanks to anybody that can help.

I'm not reeeeeally sure what the problem is - but try pressing enter in VM mode when that happens. That cancels the selection box out, anyway.

lol..thank you I dont know what is causing it, but being able to cancel the selection seems to reset it!! Thank you

Yeah, I think it's because there's a selection box somewhere, so you can't click vertics.

Many thanks! Was praying it was something stupid

its because your in selection mode.

when you want to VM something, select it with the selection tool or the VM tool, then either stay in VM mode or go into it, then do your editing.
