Hammer's 3d view is bugged

[Nineaxis]

I talked with Erik Johnson (Project Manager at VALVe) last night and he told me to email Mike Durand (SDK guy), so you can at least be assured VALVe is aware to some degree or another that no one can map.

What I do is this:

Close all chat windows and set friends list on offline (and log on to windows live messenger)

That way I only get that bug once/hour. If it still happens just resize your the 4 windows, minimize->maximize the hammer window or something like that.

Yea, I also recommend doing this, it works.

I went to the options and changed the fov.

Cleared right up.

silly hammer, happily shortening all of our lives with it's stress...

and yet we trudge on

(cuz it's pretty, too)

(but can be oh-so-frustrating)

I hope it gets fixed soon. the way Ive been trying to reset my view is to click on random brushes, but when my view goes back to regular, I find that things that werent even in my FOV have been clicked or double clicked.

i just clikc on random brushes a few times and all returns to its normal state

tools->options-> tab 3d view->reverse selection order, that or shaded polygon view. Either way makes it still half assed.

Do we have any answer from any valve members (SDK guy) yet?

God that is so annoying. Ever since that stinking update valve has been pissing on hammer.

 

[TJW941]

it happens to me... i fix it by quickly zooming in and out with the scroll wheel

Anything that causes a redraw of the Windows control that houses the 3D view seems to "fix" it 90% of the time. The simplest IMO is just clicking any of the resize bars around the 4 views.

Hopefully, Valve will fix this soon.

I get this sometimes, but when I click on something, it usually goes away

Edit: I just had another problem that I've never had before, while looking through the model browser all of a sudden It zoomed in on the top left corner of the browser, every other screen was fine, I didn't press anything and after a few seconds, it went back without me touching it. HELP US VALVE!!!

It is clearly a new feature :<

Yeah, I just experienced this too.

Ok, I have gotten this bug not only in the 3D view
but in the Model view, and the 2D views, very weird and annoying
hopefully it is fixed soon, taking longer 2 do things

http://raegquit.com/ listen to the audio, thats me in hammer when the 3d view bugs out

 

[Schmoe]

This is probably due to a recent compatibility patch to Steam for other games.

Happens to me too, usually when I first start up. All you have to do is move the mouse between the grid and camera a bunch.
