Disappearing Displacements

Anyone ever have this happen... You clip a box brush to make the desired shape. That works great, but as soon as you add displacements to it it dissappears but still appears in the wireframe 2D views.

What's going on?

A displacement can only have 4 sides.

I think displacements only work on quadrilaterals. The brush face needs 4 sides, any more or less is a no go.

Yeah it only has 4 sides which is why its confusing. I read that here... link (http://forum.facepunchstudios.com/showthread.php?t=75890)

It allows it when I take the original square, add my displaced surface and THEN clip it... but not before, so perhaps I was creating fewer than 4 sides unknowingly

Oh yeah thanks by the way, I think by just reversing the order of how I do it it works fine :) FYI for anyone who has the same issue at any rate
