Moving signage and connection lines

[soopytwist]

So, I'm trying to tidy up a map using Hammer that I made in the Perpetual Testing Initiative. The connection lines are a mess and the signage are all wrong. When I move a signage (the small white squares with symbols in them) they disappear.

Moving them in the top view seems to be okay but it's when I move them in the Front (y/z) and Side (x/z) that they vanish, though the selection box is still there the texture itself isn't.

Same situation with connection lines.

If the overlay moves over a new brush you need to assign the overlay to that new brush face.

And how do you do that? Sorry for being dim but I'm new to Hammer.

In the overlay properties. I think its called "Brush Face".

Right got it, thanks very much for the help

Some more (hopefully) helpful advice: if you hold ctrl when selecting, you can select multiple brush faces.

I've done pretty well there, added some connection lines exactly where I needed them, removed some signs and changed others...took me a few hours but considering I've never done this before I think I've done a good job.

Thank you for the help. I was probably going to ask a lot of other questions but I managed to figure things out for myself - which is the best way to learn something!
