I'm finding it very annoying when I'm trying to move a small sector and I grab a bigger one by acident, completely displacing it. Coul you make a 'Lock Sector' option James? I mean lock sector by not being able to move it unless you unlock it. Sort like how the base sector is locked.

Other people are more carful =P

Anyways.. that would be helpful to freeze or lock sectors. It would speed up editing.

Hey I thought that was only me.

How about something like hold down shift to lassoo a sector?

What I mean is you would have to lassoo all of the verts in the entire smaller sector, this way it won't pick up the larger one. If you lassoo 2 or more entire sectors then thats tough and Meteor would pick one for you.

I'm thinking just the option on the sector menu to lock the sector.

Wov James, your new icon you use in Allegro forums really points me to the eye (tell me if you don't understand that part)

I am really agreeing to the lock sector option, I am having troubles with big sectors moving, I really need this! Especially when I'm doing big bases, for example this Omicron base map (theta got dropped, it just makes me sad, it would be sooooo cool!!!!) is 4500 pixels wide and high and the main base is at the front, takes a few thousand pixels, I did the base base sector (like, a sector that is a main floor, takes the base size) and I, deleted it by accident! Then I moved it away and it took me some time to put it back. Well, locking sectors really is in need! This omicron map is going to mantis.

Lassoing sectors, hmmmm, I don't think it is need but a good feature too maybe... I quess it wouldn't be any harm.
