SSE Suddenly, Objects/References in the CK Render Window can not be moved [FIX]

[c0ax599]

Hey ya'll. How's Modding?

 

I found the answer to a seemingly obscure CK issue. Debated posting it here, I found the solution in a reply on the Steam forum. But it took me awhile to find it, so maybe it'll help someone to find it easier if i repost it here.

 

The problem I was running into lately, was i'd be humming along in the CK placing items, etc. I was using the widgets alot, just by hitting the Z X C W E keys, and dragging with the right (or left) mouse button to rotate spin or move the item to be placed.

 

All the sudden, the item i was working with would seem stuck. If I clicked it with the LMB it would not move. Grrrr, so frustrating. The CK, was not locked up, menus worked, etc. Just could not move items in the render window.

 

I would usually save, and restart the CK. I finally got tired of it, and spent some time googling or actually "ducking". :wink: Took me some digging through posts looking for a clue.

 

And the solution turned out to be simple. I had a widget turned on still. Now, I don't know why there were no widget gizmo's showing, but i had no idea that that was the problem. I hit each of the aforementioned keys, and when i hit the one that was on, the item could be moved in the render window again. So simple a fix but not too obvious, can be real frustrating.

You have the widgets on. Turn them off.

There was actually a post related to this problem on the Nexus Here. But it had no fix or solution.

 

Hope that might help someone with a similar issue.

I have been noticing something, that turns out to be related to my above post. Whenever I hit the 2 key, or any of the other Gizmo Keys, the Gizmo's weren't showing up though some still worked.

 

Recently something happened to my CK, I have no idea how, my settings all got wiped out. Found out by ducking it and finding a older post on this forum, about the iGizmoRadius=x setting. It's in the CreationKitPrefs.ini file. Mine was set to 2...

 

It should read:

 

iGizmoRadius=125

 

That's why I never knew they were still turned on, and that was why i couldn't move refs.
