    Hello thar people,

    I lately had to reformat my good ole HDD and after installing steam and the sdk I tried opening one of my old .vmf's again. Thats where the problem turned up. Here's a screenshot:

    Those two stripes are the only things I see. Whatever I change or do in the 3d window.

    Anybody knows how to solve this?

    What I do is click the camera tool, and click-drag in a 2d viewport(like you were aiming the camera). That jump starts the 3d view for me.

    I'm not sure... it seems if I load a saved map, it doesn't havet his problem, but if i start a new one, I have to do the click drag thing.

    Ctrl-shift-e usually works if placing a camera doesn't

    That was not what I meant, but thanks for your effort...

    Also, adjusting the gridlines witht the [ and ] button doesn't work good either. I have to press the buttons like 20 - 30 times before it starts working. Might this be a known bug too? Perhaps anybody has an answer to this too?

    No idea but it works fine for me

    Are you zoomed in far enough? Sometimes, for me, if I'm zoomed out quite far or to a certain level, the grid will change but the lines won't.

    I read having a camera placed somewhere in your level helps.

    They seem to be pretty useful so I guess I'll do so anyway

    This is the only real problem I've ever had with Hammer
