Really annoying problem

[short recoil]

I have this really annoying problem with hammer which i never had with worldcraft and hammer for half life 1, i am not a n00b mapper by any means but why this is happening is beyond me.
I open the face edit sheet to and just say i want to select 5/6 faces on a cube in the camera view..........when i click on the camera tool to move it round it closes my face edit sheet and deselects the faces i had selected, i never used to have this problem, it would stay there.

Basically it means i cannot texture properly or use such things as subdivide, i have tried everything to fix it.

Any help is much appreciated.

i dont know about using the camera tool. if you press "z" while the mouse is in the 3d window, it allows to you move around with the "wasd" keys. Dunno if thats what you want.

I always forget you can do that.........thanks for reminding me , i used to use the camera tool and face edit at the same time, its a shame they made it close when you bring up camera tool.

You don't need to press Z to move around like that

You can also use the arrow keys to turn when the camera view is in focus.

yes i do....

Pressing z lets you fly around and use the mouse to steer, like noclip in game. Much more fun than just using the arrow keys
