Title: Selecting Brushes help
Post by: Lapppy on November 26, 2008, 11:28:52 PM
Sometimes when i try to select a brush through the 3D view (is there another way to select brushes?) It selects the brush behind the brush i am trying to select. Is there any way to get around this? :P

You can select a brush using the top, side or front view. Hold shift and click the brush you want to select.

hmm, I get the same problem, but only from the school computers, it's probably a graphics card problem, no?

Hmm, thats an odd bug.

Having said that, I've had some weird similar bugs myself - I've experienced clicking the faces of a brush, only for it to select another brush fairly far away from the one I'm clicking, as though it was confused about which face I was selecting. The only way i've gotten around it is to do as Laged says and select it in the plan views, or try and select another face of the same brush in 3D view.

Just have to mark it up to BSP's strangeness I guess.

Are your brushes overlapping?  If there are two brushes in the same spot, it won't necessarily select the one you want.

No, they dont overlap. It's just a really annoying bug that it selects the wrong brush.
