Good morning

I'm sick and tired of using additional brushes to get the effect I'm after and if the answer is already on the forum I can't find it. Here's a pic to demonstrate what I'm after...

I know that when you press E you can angle a brush but how do you make an additional angle on the same brush? First person to help me out wins a fantastic trip for two to Paris!

EDIT: Found what I was lookng for sorry!

Damn you!
Well.. have fun on your own in Paris.

In any case, here's a great resource for all things clipping.

"V" should move brush verts.
For the extra "ho-hah", "CTRL+G" snaps to the grid. So everything can line up perfectly!

Never move vertices manually with DoomRadiant, it just does nasty things to your brushes. Always use clipping for all your angular needs.

Yes.

For patches it's a necessity though.

You can just use multiple brushes because the BSP/PROC compiler will split them all into those triangles anyway. There aren't many advantages to trying to make complex brushes, because brush count is subjective compared to triangle count.

Vertex editing doesn't seem to be a problem in Netradiant, which I use for my basic BSP. The downside is that you might have to switch editors to do stuff like lights, guis, particles etc.

Whatever gets the job done...
