My brushes don't snap!

[Chrysaor]

I checked the advanced properties and the brushes say they bEdShouldSnap=True, what's wrong? THey move without a snap!

Also, the actors snap. So basically, their switched. :/

hit the grid button at the bottom of ued. It should be green. the other button (the cross with the box in the middle), when checked mean it will snap to the closest brush vertex. Uncheck this button to leave it snapped to only the grid.

I wish UEd would have MORE snap options like AutoCad :/

He-he, You hide in my attic and use AutoCad.

I suppose that Ued havn't more snap options.

AutoCad is awesome, it's got like 16 snap options! And a whole separate menu that u can pull up to decide which ones u want. Very cool program. It's a wee bit better than UEd

Altho UEd is more fun

Just getting started mappin.......what the hell is a snap???
And what does it do??
Do you snap building brushs? Brushes already built? does it reallign stuff?? what?

Snaps are like linking different brushes or lines to another lines midpoint, edge, vertice, tangent, so on. UEd only snaps to the grid, like at 16 standard and to vertices.

yes, snapping the brushes to the grid makes the bsp like you, and give you less problems.

let me translate...

Snapping to the largest practical grid setting helps the bsp compile your level with the least amount of problems. Not snapping to the grid forces the compiler to calculate floating point numbers instead of integers; causing a longer compile time, larger map file (in mb), and you will most likely have bsp problems.
