So I was mapping, trying to make a spawnroom. And basically, I'd tie one thing to an entity, make all the settings and hit "Apply", go do something else, and come back to the previous thing and suddenly it's a solid with 6 faces and no func status. I can tie an entity to it, and its original name and entity type are shown on the 2D views, but apparently they're reverting back to solids. I know that I'm hitting Apply, because everytime I tie it back to an entity, the name gets changed, and that's one of the items I input.

Help! This is driving me BANANAS!

Seems to have worked. Somewhere along the way, I must have hit the shortcut for it. I wouldn't know if that was the case, seeing as how I turned it off and on again. Thanks anyways.

It's a bit confusing, but there's a logical reason it works this way:

Taking multiple brushes and making them one single brush entity is basically a form of grouping. Thus it allows you to move individual brushes by temporarily forgetting they're "grouped" via entity relationship.

Sometimes this happens to me too.

You're entities are still entities there's just a bug in Hammer that shows that they arn't.

Reload Hammer and it should work, does for me.
