    So I'm making a map at the moment and like most people I'm experiementing with ghost merging. I'd say I'm around a third of the way through using a stacked budget glitched canvas on sandbox.

    So until this point everything has been going great, however when using OLN objects to ghost merge I have come across a problem which wasn't occuring up until now. They merge fine but when I start a new round they become invisible from most angles and they only appear from certain, precise angles. They appear in the first round of a forging session and on custom games but only from certain angles in forge which is becoming frustrating when trying to create stuctures around them.

    I have a vague recollection of invisible objects being mentioned somewhere so I'm wondering if anyone has any help on this? Why it happens and any potential solutions would be greatly appreciated.

    I beleive this occurs when the center of the item is split between the geometry of a map.

    Ill explain, Basicly when you ghost merge, you can only geomerge the item as far as the center will go, so you can only ever push the object half way in but if you go up to a small crack in a map (like on longshore the stain/cracks scattered around do this) it allows the center to go through the the floor millimeters (like basicly so small it doesnt make a difference) but it is classed as being half in, half out the geometry so is becomes invisible.

    You can fix this by just lifting it of the floor ever so slightly, ive experienced the disapeering on the longshore stains and the foundry back tunnels where the little dots are on the floor.
