You can always open the example map and look at the texture names there.

Theres no glass in the example map as far as I'm aware.

However, you can determine the texture used on a surface in-game by setting sv_cheats to 1 and then using the console command impulse 107 while facing the surface in question. The texture name will be output to the console.

In the texture browser, type "portal" in the "keywords" field to get most of the Portal textures. The only obvious one missing is the refractive glass for the office windows, that's glass/glasswindow_refract01.

(Don't use glass/refract01_dx8, that one is the fall-back version for older video cards.)

Hey, that's useful, I didn't know that!

Impulse 107 will be quite useful, if I find a texture and don't know what it is called...

Edit: fixed spelling
