Big problem in UDK please help :(

shadden

Hi, I am new to this forum and this is my first post. I am having a really bad problem with the terrain editor in UDK and cannot add static meshes to my terrain. Iv been stuck on this for around 2 hours now, so its getting pretty annoying to say the least.

I am very new to UDK and I am trying to add static meshes to my terrain, through a deco layer. I have done everything correctly i.e selected my mesh, added selected decoration. When I go to paint the mesh on nothing shows up, it only shows when I play the level. I have tried changing the values, meshes and nothing will work. This is making it impossible for me to create level because I cant see where I am putting anything. I have enclosed pics to show it better.

All help is greatly appreciated thanks.

As you can see here the mesh is loaded correctly

As you can see here they only show up when I play the level. Even when I just drag and drop static meshes from the content browser there is no way for me to see it without playing the level. This only happens in on terrain though.

Hmm, should be a hotkey for hiding static meshes in the viewport, but I seem to have forgotten it now, should just be a simple letter.

It could probably also be found in the menu under the top left arrow, or in the view menu.

the hotkey for hiding meshes is "w"--verrry easy to hit while navigating, since its only a matter of holding leftclickornot. You can turn the W hotkey off thought under the preferences >enable flight controls or something like that

I got mine at CTRL+W now, don't remember if I changed it, or a new build changed it.
