im very new to the whole mapping idea and i need some help.
i right now am doing my second map (after the tutorial) and am trying to find out how to create a rounded object like a round tunnel ( please help me

and i havent seen a tutorial anywhere else

Welcome to the forums, you can use the edit button to add anything you missed like that 'and i havent seen a tutorial anywhere else' part.

As for rounded objects: You use the block tool to create solids right...Well on the right side you will see the word 'block'. You can change that to cylinder to make rounded objects. As for rounded tunnels you can use the 'arch' selection to make a rounded tunnel but it requires some thought and skill.

Feel free to ask more questions.

Additionally, the clipping tool can be used to cut sections into pieces, round off corners, and allow the mapper to add embelishments to textures (like a window as part of a long wall (because you can only have 1 texture on a face)). To use it, click on the Clip tool (it's the block with a flat slice in the corner) and draw a line in one of the 2D views to make the cut. Pressing enter completes the action; clicking on the Clip button a second time controls what is to be deleted in the process. White means keep, red means delete.

As Mr. Habboi said, If you have any questions, feel free to ask.

i dont know how to use the clipping tool either
lol and my little nub self

He just explained it to you above Just do what he said.

ya and another thing is that i dont have the cylinder select thing either on the right side
i just have entity selection, texture selection, and visgroups; where can i get the other one where you select the cylinder thing
and i dont know how to make the cut i want to make square, it just cut off half of my block

You can only control the brush type (Ie, cylinder, cube, arch, etc.) when the brush tool is selected. If it isn't, then the selection box will be come grey in color, meaning you can't use it.

To alter how the brush is clipped, drag the line in the direction you want. If it wasn't exactly how you wanted it, then you can click and drag on the 2 white squares at either end of the clipping line to move them into place. Then just hit enter!

Thanks guys for the help!!!
I now fully understand the use of the clip tool and I never noticed the arch, cylinder, block, etc., menu before.
Thanks for the the help.
