The undo warning just means you have the max undo amount really high.

If I remember right, you should create another brush the size of the hole, and put it inside the large brush then go to tools>carve.

Can't you disable the warning? Or install more RAM :wink: .

You create brushes with the block tool. But use the carve tool cautiously. Simple box-shaped brushes should be fine to use in most cases, but if you carve with more complex brushes, they are likely to cause errors or really bad cuts.

Another way to make the hole in the wall is creating four brushes and place them like this:

Split the red wall in the picture with the cutting tool (click the button three times).

1 ) Split the red wall at the left side of the hole you're about to make
2 ) Splite the red wall on the right side of the hole you're about to make.

The red wall should now be devided into three brushes.

3 ) Select the brush in the middle.
4 ) Split that brush where you want the top of the hole to be.
5 ) Delete the brush where you want the hole and voil?! :biggrin:

Um... It's the Clipping Tool. It looks like a cube with the top cut off diagonally.

Look at the pic a attached to this.

Yes, I meant the clipping tool. Sorry about that. Splitx, since you're new to Hammer, go here: new-to-mapping-never-used-hammer-before-look-here-t1024.html

I also saw in your picture that you have snap to grid set to 64 units!! (It's in the lower right corner of the screen)
You'll want to lower it down to about 4 or 8 by pushing '['. You can raise it again by pushing ']'.

Yeah, I can't use those hotkeys either. Use the buttons on the screen: http://developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki ... ew_Toolbar

Did you follow the link I posted in my last post? You'll find many answers there:

NEVER USE THE CLIPPING TOOL!
It causes errors / problems / leaks / bad cookies.

Umm, what? I think you mean the carve tool. The clipping tool is an amazing thing (although I prefer the vertex tool better).

Because the vertex tool can turn a single brush into two.

"You will need two prop_dynamic entities, one for each of the following world models:

* models/props/pedestal_base_reference.mdl. Name it stand_bottom_model and set its "disableshadows" keyvalue to 1.
* models/props/pedestal_center_reference.mdl. Name it stand_top_model. "
