Missing Overlays [Guide] *Edited*

[Cincomma]

So, there's a little bug in hammer which makes overlays completely transparent, and I'm here to tell you how to fix it. This bug makes the overlay texture disappear, therefore taking some time away from mapmaking (just a tiny bit though). This bug is usually caused by cutting the brush the overlay was on, and this could be very problematic if you are making cliffs, small details, or splitting textures between one brush. One way to avoid this bug is re-assigning the overlay to the brush it was originally on. Anyways, that concludes this guide, please reply to me what you think!

Or you could just re-assign the brush face lol. Open the overlays properties, go to brush face, press select and then select the face of the brush again and you got your overlay back. You can also add multiple brush faces this way so you can have an overlay stretch over multiple brushes.

EDIT: double ninja'd

Or you could just re-pick desired brushfaces in info_overlay settings...

EDIT: Damn, ninjad.

Or you could fix the issue. Select the overlay, open the entities properties and change the faces it is on.
