Unable to move objects in render window with mouse

Post » Mon Jun 18, 2012 1:01 pm

While working in the render window I found myself suddenly unable to move objects or pan the camera with my mouse. After poking around the menus I found if I right click in the render window select "Render Window Properties" and go to the movement tab I was able to restore most movement (somehow everything was set to 0). The only thing I have not been able to figure out is how to restore the ability to move objects in the render window by clicking and dragging them. I can rotate the object, rotate around the object, pan and zoom around it, but no ability to move it around. I even went so far as uninstalling and reinstalling the creation kit, but no change (must be a file somewhere preserving the settings). What am I missing?

When you select an object is does a box pop up around it?

The only time that's happened to me was when I had the rotation gizmo turned on (W key toggles it). Other than that, I'm not sure. Never had the speed suddenly change to 0 on me...

I'm having this same problem but it doesn't seem to be the rotate gizmo. I've toggled that on and off but it doesn't have any effect.

I've been making mods since morrowind so I'm not new it but nothing I do seems to fix this problem. I've followed the tutorial in it wiki and watched the tutorial video doing exactly what they do. But still nothing. I've check the movement speed which is set to 1.0 and I've turned the snap on and off. Still nothing. What could be keeping me from moving things?

When I select things in the render window I get the bounding box and my cursor changes when I move it over the selected object. But when I try to drag it, it won't move.

To further detail. I followed the "Creation Kit Tutorial Series - Episode 1: Introduction to the Kit" which had me open the "unowned cell" and then select the chest and move it. I did this, got the bounding box. the cursor changed and trying to drag it didn't work.

I just can't figure out what's wrong.

Ah ha! I found out whats wrong. I'm left handed and so I have the mouse buttons flipped. When I change that back I could move things. Great, but I'm still left handed and need the buttons flipped. Anyway to fix this?
