hmm. the grid os 4064 x4064. ore close to that. that is hughe.
. and when you dont see a grid anymore you shouldnt build outside the grid. you cange the grid size by pressing [ ore ]
hope it explains a bit but im not sure of your qestion

Joe_Cool, change the grid size with the [ and ] keys. Your room will need to be a lot smaller...
Most rooms are only 128 units heigh, wich looks like about 2,5 meter...

You can't increase the map size, but...
I've heard that in DoD some maps make use of doors, that automatically start in their open position (so they're moved at the beginning of the level). That doors are actually large parts of scenery, that are extended past the maps border at the start of the level. And that seems to be possible.

Joe_cool, a 'decent sized room' is about 1024*1024 (and thats quite large, at it), the full grid is huge...
Try scaling using the Info_player_start entity as a basic.

yes, I agree with zombie, Why would you want a room, as big as 4064x""
its kinda stupid, your computer would probably freeze up.

Wait till Half-Life 2 where the grid area will be massive

Actually, there are possible things beyond the grid. People have light up areas outside of it, and a lot of other things. Search VERC and find "Extra 4096 Units on WC Grid" (In Anonymous Materials; or something)

Joe_Cool: Really, could you please avoid posting three seperate threads of same subject.
Asked this earlier but the explaination was not very helpful-_-. I'm f*g angry at the moment and won't start whining about that too.

I feel you too jaardsi. A lot of people have done this to me. They ask off the wall questions, that usually are the wrong ones (not ones they wanted), then when you tell them a correct answer - they make a new thread, explictly explaining "I asked this before, but no one helped me".

Why have a big map for? Unless its for DM or multiplayer then you shouldn't need to.

Yes. Use it for single player maps. Very useful (how do you think they did it in Half-Life? One big map? I don't think so! 
)
