Geometry Alignment keeps Resetting

Every time I apply a material to a brush and align it to fit than build it resets the alignment!

Hey Polemos,

What version of the Editor are you on? The reason I am asking is because I am not able to reproduce the issue you’re describing. Could you please respond back to this thread with additional details on what you’re doing to get the alignment to reset?

Thank you!

I am using 4.7.2 but this has been happening in all the 4.7 previews and all the 4.7 releases…

Thanks for getting back to me , I am using 4.7.2 but this has been happening in all the 4.7 previews and all the 4.7 releases…

Thanks for letting me know that you’re on the newest release of 4.7. Could you please list out the steps that you’re taking to get the alignment to reset? Each time I place the material, change the alignment and build, the material stays as it’s suppose to. So I’d like to know what I’m doing differently than you.

Much appreciated. :slight_smile:

Ah Ha I nailed the bug for you trying to get the exact steps down, So here we go -
in the modes Panel select BSP → box
Drag and drop box into the level
select a face Apply a material to that face
THIS DOES MATTER The material has to consist of a Texture Sample and its blend Mode has to be opaque for some reason this does not happen with other blend modes
Select alignment fit & build this should reset the Alignment exposing the bug if it does not rescale the box this will definitely expose the bug and I think that the rescaling / resetting based on rescaling bug is actually an already know issue

yea I thought they fixed it in this version but no it is even worse because it is now happening on static meshes as well originally I was only seeing it on BSPs
I could really use a hotfix on this it is a huge bottleneck for mt team

Issue reported as UT-964

This bug s back I press align on brushes and nothing happens anymore in 4.8

Thank you for the report. We have this bug reported as UE-17038 and looks to be fixed internally and will be pushed out with an upcoming major engine release.
