View source for Brush Entities Are Black

The most common reason for this issue are corrupted entities.  The best solution for corrupted entities is a complete replacement of them.  Recreate the entity by right-clicking on the brush and selecting ''Move To World'', then ''Tie to Entity'' under the same menu.  You can also use the buttons on the [[Hammer New Objects Toolbar|New Objects]] toolbar.  Now select the entity you had previously and try again.  If the problem persists try working through solution two below.


The second possible cause, a common for map porting, is having the <code>color</code> keyvalue set to <code>0 0 0</code>, which worked fine in [[Goldsource]], but it shows for all rendermodes in [[Source]].
