block tool Created 18 years ago2006-06-03 16:41:34 UTC by the Arcan

i was messing around and i somehow (accidentaly) cut a part of an already existing brush out with the block tool.
whats the shorcut for carving things out with the blocktool?

If im thinkin right here..

control + shift + C

you can rightclick on it in the 2d view or use the tools menu at the top.

ps: carve tool is dodgey and dangerous, recomend against using it in your map.

control shift c put a huge bruash into my map that was as large as possible in hammer (litterally streching from one end of the editing area to the other)
couldnt rightclick in 2d view either.
sry if i said carve, i meant clipp?

clip tool is shift X

133 days and you only just learned about the clip tool? come on man.

clip sucks, vertex ftw.

Clip > vertex.

With clip you can make kinda any shape you want.
If you try that with vertex, you get an "invaild solid structure".
Pfft.

clip and vertex manip both have advantages and disadvantages.. I use clip much more than VM, but some things you can do with VM, you cant with clip...

But yeah, they're equally good.

I guess....

Same old argument: clip, carve or vm...... never stops does it ;D

Clipping and VM are in different leagues really.

Why the hell did Valve make them! They knew it would be a good topic to discuss in forums >_>

lol no hunter, i knew about clipping all along, it was just this weird thing that i did with the block tool. it "seemed" to me that i cut out a rectangle form an existing brush using the block tool whilst the orignal brush stayed completly intact. i might have been mistaken though. I cleared this issue with Hugh and ZL in IRC yesterday anyway. thanks though
