Wikis / Unreal Wiki / Legacy:Viewport Context Menu

This is the reference page for the context menu which appears when open space in a viewport is right-clicked. For UnrealEd Interface menus in other windows and context menus, see UnrealEd Menus.

If you right-click on an actor, brush, or surface, you'll get one of these:

• Actor Context Menu
• Brush Context Menu
• Surface Context Menu

For menus in other windows and context menus, see UnrealEd Menus.

If you can't see this menu, it's probably your graphics card's anti-aliasing. See UnrealEd Bug List.
