I have been working on a map for some time now, and just now when I went to select on a prefab'd model, I couldnt? I must have hit a key or something, any ideas? (I cant select a prefab'd model I already set up on my map awhile ago, it's as if it's not there and I cant select it to move it or anything)

May be you enabled the button on top right of radiant, "Disable selection of entities" or "toggle if models are selectable".

another way you can try (but turn off "Disable selection of entities" before anyway!): make a temp. brush around the model (check at least 2 views to make sure the model is completely inside) and click "Select inside" from toolbar. now start deselecting selected brushes, patches and other entities you don't want to be selected

or: brush, very small, let it touch only your model, hit "select touching" from toolbar

if they really disappear, check your filters (press F). also try clicking menu View -> Show hidden

That was it thanks !

sry to revive an old topic, but i got the same problem now
cant select any of my models

i checked the "disable buttons", tried to select it with a brush then select inside, nothing worked
its pretty annoyin

the only way i think of now is to edit the .map file in notepad ... :(

even the mp_spawn cant be selected, which is really annoyin because they are now misplaced and i cant even test this map. (they arent in the skybox)
