Ok this is sad but when I make an object in a 2D window with the Block Tool, hit enter, I can see the object in the 2D windows but my camera window is black. I somehow found the object once with much fiddling and can't figure out what I did before. I think the object should automatically show up on the camera window the way it did in the 2D windows, is there a way to make it do this? I cannot figure out for the life of me how to find the object in the camera view. I click the window and then select 3D Textured Polygons but still nothing. Is there a shortcut to cycle through objects or to center one on the screen or select it if you can't see it in the camera?

Are far as I know this is a small bug with hammer when it's first launched.

After creating your block and hitting enter, Try going to view then select "Centre 3D views on selection". That should show your block in the 3D window.

You should only need to do this once, After that you should be able to see new blocks as you create them.

Agreed.. And first launch your map... not the editor.
I never found a solution, but this fix was easy enough that finding a fix wasn't overly important to me.
