Very first time using Hammer

[Jackal Legacy]

Hello People-who-know-what-they-are-doing.

After seeing some of the awesome content thats coming out of the community i decided i would open up hammer and give it a shot myself.

I was following the Getting started guide on the valve developer community and i have already run into my first problem.

I am at the part where you place the first block and after i put it down it appears as just a wireframe, I see a tip which says:
"Tip: If your object does not appear textured already, click on the Camera view and go to View > 3D Textured Polygons to view a textured version of your object"

But when i choose "3D textured polygons" Nothing happens and the block stays as wireframe (I know did click on the camera view)

Any of you people know what i am doing wrong here?

EDIT: Nevermind i solved my problem
