Edit your steam shortcut

Where the exe is listed add -beta sdk on the end

eg:

"folderpath\steam.exe" -beta sdk

the shaded 3d view is an old feature. worldcraft had that too.

the ability to move vertexes in 3d view is kinda useless without a gizmo.

the new model viewer is ok, but now it's harder to find a model due the lack of thumbnails.

nice update but I'm not excited...

Nice update indeed - most significant overhaul to hammer for a long long while. Pity I don't have time for mapping at the minute or I'd actually have another crack at finishing up something for source.

Post pics if you can, I can't load Steam at school, the firewall rapes the connection ;

That was the one thing that did work in the 3d view before

Yeah, and even more Hammer updates coming later.

Damn this was about time.

I had heard whispers of previewable lighting, which would be neat

Really? Well my face is red

Anyways, anybody else having any problems with the 2d views? After working in hammer for a while (10-20 minutes), when I try to move the 2d views around they first spaz out then go completely black.

for the love of god, if im missing that feature to enable, you must share!! Thats probably the one thing that would get be back to source.

Some guy on the snarkpit apparently heard word of it from Adrian Finol who is a programmer at Valve. I can't really confirm anything and I didn't notice anything about it in the current beta, but as I said, there are whispers
