when I make a Curve or a terrain patch with the textures: caulk or clip (any clip) the patch itself becomes transparent...It didnt used to and I dont know what happened. Also when I select it usually Ill be able to see off in the distance(in the general area that I have selected in red)...in the camera view, the exact same shape its Drawn up in. I cant get to the shape far off and i cant selecet it just the clear patch. In the picture you can see i have, terrain, curves, caulk and clip checked so it should show. Its annoying as im trying to block off the boundaries. Also if i select the caulked or clipped patch then texture it the problem goes away, that is until I make another. Whats wrong? This is really strange

the picture turned out smaller than expected. Larger one, I think, here: http://img23.imageshack.us/img23/7237/patcherror.jpg

have u tried (while the stuff is selected) patch>invert? sometimes the material just goes inwards and you have to call it out...dont know why it does that. try that. as for your second problem bout not showing up after a distance..that sounds like something i read a while ago. It is somewhere in the preference section i believe. edit>preference? or cubic clipping found in the view>cubic clipping??

that isnt the problem...if it was inverted inwards youd see that in the picture...I know the difference.

Cubic clipping simply allows your camera to see oh so far, chunks of your map in a certain radius.
its like it mirrors the patch off into the distance (unselectable there) i see the color of the patch in the exact shape...far off, its not cubic clipping unfortunatly

If my patch it in caulk, then the color of the shape is Yellow thats all i can see...if its clip...red etc. thx though, problem is unresolved and annoying >.<

problem solved :D

just incase someone else gets this error:

I guess somewhere along the line I accidentally pushed the "Flip Texture Y" or "Flip Texture X" buttons and didn't realize, it flips the texture somehow...WITHOUT inverting it to the other side of the patch, therefor appearing transparent.

DONT TOUCH THESE BUTTONS:

glad to hear u solved it and posted the answer for others that might follow.
