<div class="IPBDescription">I cant place props, or rather the model doesn't actually appear</div>It seems that I cant place props, or rather the model doesn't actually appear. The prop entity exists but I cant see the model, in the editor or ingame. I dont know whats wrong here but I cant find a solution for it myself. Anyone knows what might be happening? Only a line appears in the top map view and thats the only way I can select the prop.

    Are you selecting the chair (prop tool) then selecting the model, then placing it in the map?

    When I mapped on Source I got used to a different method. I used to place the model entity, then select the model.

    Also, sometimes props spawn into the void facing opposite of you, and their backs are culled so you may not see them.

    Also, place a ambient light to help you see the prop.

    Yes I place props with the prop tool. The prop is created technically but I cant see the model only a short line, it doesnt appear later in the game either. I can load up maps and see and move all the models copy and paste them and so on, but I cant create any.

    There is an issue right now with regional settings screwing up things in SparkE, I think it is possible to set it to US (keyboard/regional settings) temporarely to make it works once more, Max is on it btw :)
