kitcat81 Posted December 23, 2016 Share Posted December 23, 2016 I mean the usual preview(not the render window which I don`t use at all) when you open any object. I was always able to rotate and zoom in/out objects with LMB. Yesterday it suddenly stopped to work. Can`t zoom, can`t rotate, can`t do anything at all. Pressing LMB selects "ok" button in the bottom of the file. Maybe I accidently ticked some setting ot pressed a shortcut that dissalows camera moving but I can`t find how to fix it. Checked preview movement settings and they are default. I`d just reinstall the CK but I`m not sure if it`s safe to do for my mods. Please, help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kitcat81 Posted December 23, 2016 Author Share Posted December 23, 2016 I fixed it ! :laugh: For everyone who might run into the same problem... I found a weird line in my CreationKitPrefs.ini:[PreviewMovement]bUseGamepad=1 No idea how it happened as I don`t own any gamepads and did not even open this ini. I set it to zero, restarted the Kit and it fixed the problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chucksteel Posted December 23, 2016 Share Posted December 23, 2016 You can lock the preview window camera, I do it by accident most of the time but to unlock it just hit the space bar. I don't know it changing the .ini will effect vanilla behavior but that's how it works by default. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know it changing the .ini will effect vanilla behavior but that's how it works by default. Thank you, I will try to remember this option. Maybe I accidentally pressed space, not sure if it can change the ini, but it`s useful to know anyway :smile: Edited December 23, 2016 by kitcat81 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chucksteel Posted December 23, 2016 Share Posted December 23, 2016 It's a bit annoying and took me some time to figure out why I couldn't pan the preview window any more myself. :wallbash: I was restarting the ckit to fix it most of the time until I just happened to hit the space bar which got it working again. :dance: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tried to hit random buttoms too and even started to prepair for reinstalling, but maybe I did not try the space button. Can`t remember now. Was really happy when it finally started to work again. And I`ve found this "space" freeze option quite useful when no textures show up in the preview. It somehow updates the preview and textures show up immediately.

chucksteel Posted December 23, 2016 Share Posted December 23, 2016 interesting, I didn't know that! Another thing it does do is to center the camera on the object while it locks it in place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did not know that too untill now! Got some time to test different things and trying to learn something new Though the freeze works randomly ..I mean with the "space". Sometimes it does not freeze anything but makes a "beep" sound. The CK is unpredictable sometimes...or maybe it`s a glitch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chucksteel Posted December 23, 2016 Share Posted December 23, 2016 Space bar also locks the preview window in the Object Editing Pallets, That is where I first noticed the issue. (Feature or whatever you want to call it :P ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kitcat81 Posted December 23, 2016 Author Share Posted December 23, 2016 Let it be a feature. The main thing is to remember it. I guess I should print a list of the CK secrets for myself, can come in handy sometimes. And thanks again for being really helpful :). Googling this problem did not help at all.
