Sandbox mode tools disappeared

[kim]

I've been playing HF2 and enjoying Sandbox mode. Now, for no reason I can see, all the (much bigger selection) of tools have reverted back to the radial dial I'm so familiar with in the normal (non-sandbox) game. Can anybody suggest what to do? Thanks in advance

Kim: I just came across your post from Dec...I noticed you never got a reply about the issue, but did you ever find out what happened and get it working again? This suddenly happened to me after the March update. I had been working on 2 particular houses in Sandbox mode and when the sandbox tools vanished (leaving me with only the original dial (as you got), so now I am unable to work on them until that gets fixed. Not being able to fly sure causes a lot of issue! :D So I have only been coming in to see if it's been fixed yet. I've left several notes about this but only one person responded as she had the same issue. No help yet.

You have to choose 'Edit' not 'Play'

Unless that was changed in the last update, that's not true. I have only gone into EDIT a couple of times and don't like it since you can't save your work and come back later. I have always gone into PLAY to redesign/create houses there, using those tools, and flying was especially helpful when working on a tall building (I was building my own house prior, and NOT in EDIT). Since this building has been going on since January, it couldn't possibly have been done in EDIT, since the building is partially done and I had added more with each visit. :D

I don't know why you think you can't save your work and come back to it later in EDIT mode because you most definitely can, I use ONLY edit mode when I'm in Sandbox. If you were flying then you were in edit mode whether you knew it or not and any saves you made were done in edit mode. Maybe go to your house in EDIT mode, make a change (just a small one) press ESC and click on SAVE, exit to main menu then go back in to your house and see if it saved or not.
