Hello,

Today suddenly my Grid changed again in Hammer, Its quiet annoying because it happend several times already.

Here below a better view of the problem is explained;
(Cant drag the line to the right one.)

(And here the line skips the line where it supposed to be attachted on.)

I cant drag the lines to each other because the grid is different or something, I already tried to change the grid, Applying "Snap to grid" and then restart Hammer, but after several failures of trying that didn't work aswell.


Anyway, I hope someone can help me with this issue.

Thanks for reading.

Use [ or ] to change the grid size. If it's not snapping, drag the vertice out further until it snaps to something and then drag it back. If it's not snapping it's because you've selected two vertices and only one of them is snapping whilst the other is locked into the selection. You can snap them to the grid individually through the camera view.

That or your brushes are invalid and keep getting "fixed" automatically by Hammer.

If you leave Snap on and copy paste something frm another map file - will it auto align to the new grid? Sorry I'm at work and If I didn't ask it now I'd never remember by the time I get home.

How small are these things/points, it looks like you've zoomed in quite a bit?

It's pretty common for verticies at these tiny sizes bug out when forced into odd angles, and or off-grid positions.
I would encourage you to never go below grid size 4, when doing TF2 mapping. There are a few exceptions, but as a nice rule of thumb, 4 is the lowest you'll need to go.

If nothing else works, recreate the brushes from scratch, and be more careful.

Thanks for your reply,

I zoomed in because otherwise you couldn't see the exact problem,
The 2 lines are just 2 blocks and normally they just merge with eachother, But as you can see they don't do that now. I will take a look on the Grid settings.

Just wondering, how did you create these brushes? Manually, by Cut, by Carve?

Try pressing ctrl+W, that toggles the snap-to-grid function.

That is, if you haven't tried it already.
