    Black view in Hammer

    Hello. It has been a long time since ive used Hammer, although ive come across a big issue that hasnt been there before. All of the views of Front, Top and Side and entirely black. Now i have tried different things like refreshing SDK content and Resettting game configurations but it has not worked. I have also noticed this is a common problem as i searched from other forums. Though i mostly found those threads made one year ago and thought it had been fixed by now already, but i guess not...

    I am wondering, do you guys know a solution for this?

    I am using Source Engine 07 and CSS.

    Shouldnt they always be black? being the outside of the map. Or are you asking why there is no grid panel on them?

    They usually are black but now they are entirely black, without the grid as well.

    To get the grid option back on, theres a button at the top left.



    Hope this answers your question, still not 100% sure if your having this issue though. If it doesnt answer it, post a screenshot of your hammer view.

    Nope that wasnt the issue. I had the grid view enabled by default.

    This is my picture:

    What is more weird though, in the camera view one of my brush places where there is supposed to be custom textures, there is only blackness aswell.

    Mayby the screens have no dedicated views, try right clicking and choosing front or side. I haven't used hammer in months so it may have changed.

    It seems that you haven't set your front/side/tops views.

    Move your cursor to the top-left of the 3 blank cameras, do any words come up?

    I have all of the views setup, but still black. But could it be because of the engine version? I mean all mappers currently use the 07 engine for CSS right?
