I just installed A6 and the WED wont display either solids or textures in 3D view. It just shows up in wireframe even after I have changed the selection in view menu. Also, I currently own 3d World Studio, should I just use that for a world editor because it seems much more intuitive and well; just better. Any thoughts?

First question: press F7 and you should get a textured view. About the second question, I donīt really know. Personally I would make everything with models and terrain. Most formats can be imported, but I donīt know about importing whole levels ...

Okay. Next possibility is right click on the 3d view and select Render style >> box for level geometry, render style >> solid for terrain or models. These are different options for individual objects. Eventually you have to select and deselect a little bit. All my advice works with the latest public beta version, but maybe you have a different version.

when I right click in 3d view I don't have that render style option to choose from. I have the latest A6 commercial version so I don't think that is the problem. When I compile and preview the level the textures show up fine.

Well I use A6.50, which has a different gxl. Maybe you are using the latest official release (A6.4), and I donīt remember exactly how it was done then. You can explore the view menue, there should be some options for the views.

I was able to find the render style by right clicking the object in the objects window to the left and I changed the settings to box then solid. That didn't work either.

Well, if you donīt have a textured view, you should make sure, that everything (including directX) is properly installed. A 6.5 uses the DirectX9.0c version of April 2006. Maybe you need a Windows Update.
If you open WED >> File >> Preferences you could look which GXL is currently used. It should be GXL2BASDX9.DLL. This works at least for me. There is this d3dx9_30.dll which should be in your Gamestudio folder and maybe also in the Windows System 32 folder.
If all of this doesnīt help, you can also try to reinstall GS or ask Conitec.
