First off, I'm not very experienced with level editing software, so please bear with me...

QuArK has the "compass" function that allows, among other things, rotation of the 2D views. For example, you can rotate the FACE view to edit the back of an object, and it also will rotate the SIDE view to allow editing of the other side.

I cannot figure out how to do this in DeleD. Without this feature, how do I work on all sidesf an object?

Hi Kernel and welcome to these forums!

DeleD does not have a compass-like function (yet). To work on all sides of an object (the polygons), simply select that object in Object mode first (using shift+leftmouse), then goto Polygon mode and use shift+leftmouse multiple times to select the polygon you want. DeleD will figure out that more polygons are under the current mouse-position and will select them according to the number of times you press the leftmouse button. Use the 3D view to rotate the camera into a good angle so you can see the selected polygon(s). That should do it.

I know about a compass-function though, I've seen it before and I think it's a cool feature to have. It's on our TODO list (which has around a zillion other things on it too by now ).

well jus saying, but i wouldnt use it...i like havin the stability of having those viewpoints locked like that, no confusion...i think selecting polys and stuff in 3d would be more useful and solve his problem as well...but hey thats jus me lol.

Thanks for the quick responses. At least I'm not just overlooking the feature.

I also like the idea of locking things down, but they should go hand in hand with each other in my opinion.

I think, rotating the 2D Views would be a nice feature!
