Tutorial for Simple Wheatley Level?
Wheatley theme shows deterioration of the facility slowly.
Walls falling, vactubes, squarebeams, wheatley monitors, construction beams, franken cubes.
Some images and videos of it:

Or you can replay maps that being with sp_a4 prefixes
There are a few things that make Wheatley levels look like Wheatley levels.
- Clean themed, however walls are broken and/or falling apart.- Chambers are ripped apart- Bottomless pits- The availabillity of all testing elements. GLaDOS chambers didn't have gels- The Wheatley monitor (very important. Makes it seem Wheatley is watching you)- Testing elements seem like they are mashed together (we of course know Valve planned it all out)- Destruction ambience. Explosions, slight rumbles, falling debris from above etc.- The movement of large object such as test chambers in order for a 'quick fix'- That nice deep blue fog you see when you look into the distance (Also test chambers in distance and bts in background)- FrankenTurrets
) and I was looking at the fog and the massive size of the empty space. Am I right when I say the very farthest textures are toolsblack? And does Valve just wrap the map in a giant toolsblack cube? And finally, is there a way to open up a Valve Wheatley level in Hammer? Thanks for the other stuff.

You have to decompile the map and open the vmf file n hammer.
Google it.
or use the sp_a4_laser_catapult source map.
I'll take a look at that, I'm more of a visual learner.
