Portals not rotating in Hammer.

For some reason, trying to rotate a prop_portal in Hammer doesn't seem to do anything. I can change the Angle keyvalue, but in the views, the portal looks like it has the angles 0 0 0. Any ideas on why this is happening, and how to solve it?

For me, it appears to be the same - in 3D view the axes change and in 2D views the prop_portal's size changes, but it simply looks the same. :D

Trivia: this is the very second account I registered with the nickname ASBusinessMagnet, after my YouTube channel.

Prop_portals are a tad tricky to use in Hammer. In the 2D and 3D views, the prop_portal may seem like it doesn't rotate; however, there's a small trick to judge how much it does. in the 2D views, when the prop_portal is selected, there will be a thin yellow line extending a bit from the center of the prop. This indicates the direction the portal faces; i.e., the side with the line is the side you go in.

Hope that helps!
