Constructor can't delete boxes?

by Ryan Bailey · in Constructor · 05/21/2007 (1:23 pm) · 4 replies

When I make a box in the constructor and try to delete it, nothing happens. When I go to the edit menu, delete is grayed out. What's up with that?

Tubes delete just fine, but doing the same thing to a box doesn't work. Is anyone else having this problem?

If Delete is greyed out in the menu then more than likely you have a Tool active at which time you won't be able to delete brushes.

How do I deactivate the tool and delete it?

Hitting enter or escape will generally deactivate any active tools. You can also just click "Make" on the active tool or just toggle it with the tool's button.

Every now and again Constructor can get in a state where it thinks a tool is active when there isn't one and the only way to "fix" it is to restart Constructor.
