Sometimes I can't create a new brush

[grayman]

Has anyone else noticed this with the latest 1.7.3 DR?

 

I'm working along just fine, doing this and doing that, and all of a sudden I can't create a new brush. Hold down left mouse button and drag should get me a new brush, but I get nothing.

 

It has nothing to do with layers being hidden, or having the clipper invoked. If I save the map and start a new map, brush creation works fine. Then if I switch back to the map I was working on, it still remains fine. I work for a while, then all of a sudden I can't create a new brush.

 

Anyone else notice this?

 

Thanks.

did you use caulk on a brush, then create a new brush but caulk is filtered?

No.

 

When caulk is selected and filtered, you can still see the dimensions of the brush drawn in the ortho view as you drag.

 

When this problem occurs, not even the dimensions get drawn.

Yes, I saw this. It also happens sometimes if you turn a brush ito a patch, the patch becomes "invisible".

That's because your POV is from behind the patch.

 

When this happens, immediately (while the patch is still selected) click on Patch->Matrix->Invert.

 

The patch will become visible.

No, I meant invisible in the ortho views, like the disappearing brushes you just mentioned.

Okay. That I've never seen.

Seen that, too. This also happens with brushes soetimes. I'musing 1.72.

Okay, so we know it didn't start misbehaving in 1.7.3.

I get this too, but every time it's because I have something else still selected and am dragging it without knowing.
