Before you tell me there is already a post for this, don’t. I’ve looked at that, and the only solution that was given to the asker didn’t work as I was already in the mode they told me to go to. My issue is that I can only select one face on a cube brush I need to use for an important part of my game. I’m trying to duplicate it but it keeps only duplicating a couple of faces while the others are invisible but are still there. My details panel changed to show the subtraction and addition options, and I just started using the program not that long ago so I don’t know how to change it back.

Hi KnotSnappy,

Are you in Placement Mode or Geometry Mode when this occurs? To select specific faces, you need to be in the Geometry Edit Mode.

Try pressing Shift+B to select all faces.

I know that this was months ago. I fixed the issue, but this answer was to the exact opposite of my problem. I was only selecting one face, I wanted to select all. Turns out I was at the end of the world.
