Can't manipulate anything in render window

Post » Mon Jun 18, 2012 8:08 pm

so I've been using the creation kit quite happily so far, I've been creating a large interior space and all of the sudden I can't do anything in the render window. it doesn't change camera angle when I push the mouse wheel, I can't zoom at all, I can select objects but if I move them, they completely disappear as if I moved them really far. if I select an object in the cell view I focus on it but thats all. also this happens in any cell I load in the window, not only mine. I've already reinstalled the creation kit but that had no effect, the creation kit seems to save all of my settings, I'm wondering if I've accidentally pressed a button that toggles mouse manipulation or whatever. please help, I've put a lot of work into my mod.

thanks

Hi !

Is the preview window open ? There is a bug when you try to manipulate object in render window if the preview window is open (the guizmo is blinking).

I don't think the preview window is open, to be honest I don't even know what the preview window is, and I'm not sure which "gizmo" you mean.

I've figured it out, so for anyone having the same problem as I described in th OP, it could be that all your render window movement has been set to 0, to check this right click in the render window and click "render window properties", under the "movement" tab if all fields are set at 0 (or 0.000 same thing) this is your problem. it doesn't seem to have a restore default button, but you can see what they should be in http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gDKivlGmia4 this video at the 11:48 mark. I hope this can help some of you. I just wish I knew why this happened in the first place.
