Hey! I'm quite new at this mapmaking thing. Acctuly, ive done it for about 10 hours and starting to learn the basics lol. Made a aim-map wich true my friends i got 8/10 on.
Anyways. When i try to change the size of the blocks they are just about the size of a person. As the smallest.. In other words, i cant jump up on them or make it smaller. Anyone know how to fix this problem? Thanks /FiskeN^

Press on the "Smaller grid"-button. You'll see the current "snap on grid"-value in the lower right corner of Hammer, eg. "Snap on grid: 32" etc.

Just don't go too low or you'll have a hard time aligning the brushes which will just end up giving you leaks. When building the general structures of your map try not go below "snap on grid: 8". Only when you need to do some small specific detail in your map do you go below 8.

Thank you alot!

Shall i add the window from my Textures and then put the settings for it?


Also. When i try to put out an item, like for example a bench. It doesent get any color. It's white, untill i start the game, then it's purple and black.. Any ideas?
