<div class="IPBDescription">Please fix or give us the option.</div>I posted about this years ago but it was never fixed, i started mapping again but i would like this fixed or given an option, im surprised no one has noticed but the viewports are not logical, left is right, front is side etc, take a look.

Up is north in the top view, so front should face north, side should show dragging from south to north in top view as left to right then, take a look yourself, when you drag something in the top view left or right it moves in the opposite direction in the other viewports.

    Who uses those views anyway?

    But ye, that does seem unintuitive.

    I do, and I too posted about this years ago. Unfortunately, most people don't care, so it's not going to be changed :P

    When was the last time the editor got some love? it's not because people "don't care", it's obvious there's no point until they start focusing on tools again.

    While this is till a major pain, mixed with the faces going off grid (256x254.99) and the Ctrl + D bug, I do appreciate that they updated the editor's renderer to work faster and to include post process effects like bloom and atmospheric lighting.

    I look forward to a more improved editor once 1.0 comes out. Although I do assume that it may still take a while as there are some more things UWE probably wants to do to the game beforehand. It wouldn't surprise me if the 3D displacement mesh for the infestation came out before another editor update.

    It would be good if little bugs like this could be fixed every so often, i don't expect something each patch but if they could just do one every now and then progress would be made, obviously the bigger stuff has to wait, i don't know how hard a simple viewport fix is but it would help just a little bit with productivity and be an improvement.

    I'd rather get the 90º flip bug sorted instead, that's way more annoying for the workflow.
