Combining brushes......

Ace of Spades · Post by **Ace of Spades** » Fri Mar 07, 2003 4:47 pm

Is there a way to combine brushes so that when you select it, you can move all of it together or duplicate it if you have to instead of selecting all the brushes one by one, individually to do this? Maybe the word I shoulda' used was "Bind". Anyone?

You can select them with the selection-tools. maybe, you'll have to activate them by checking 'wide toolbar' in the preferences

Use a func_group.

mmmh, I was told this once and it didn't work.

Would you explain more detailled, how I should use a func_group?

Select all brushes you want to group, press N and then double-click on func_group. Later you can select the group by selecting one of the brushes and then pressing ctrl + e.

oh jv, thinking I was mapping all the time without this! OMG

Ctrl+e was the missing link!
Unfortunately just possible with pure brushes, not other funcs (doors...)
Is there a way to 'un-func' sth?

(deleted my 'no' in the post above

'ungroup entity' and 'ungroup brush' can do it! What is the difference between them?

I think ungroup entity turns entities back into regular brushes. Ungroup brush seems a special case for func_groups, not sure on this one though.

tyvm, this will really help (but in this, worldcraft was unbeatable)

Ungroup brush will remove selected brushes from an entity. I have a door made up of 17 brushes, if I wanted one or several to no longer part of function_rotatingdoor, I would select those and select ungroup brush.

Thanks IK! That was another thing I was wondering about. I have some doors and gates that are made up of more than one brush that I wanted to make move all at the same time and this helps to make more sense. Thanks again!
