How can I stop the textures from showing up in 2d view. Sometimes they are there and sometimes not. Depends on zoom in and zoom out with mouse.
Textures in 2d is not checked.
What does the "real lighting scale" do ?, ..........in the preferences.........
That only happens when you're zoomed in on a model. Go to Preferences and check the box: "Models Wireframe in XY".
(You can also completely hide the static models in Radiant by using the filter: View -> Filter -> Static Models.)
Don't know about the Real lighting scale, nothing special I guess.
