Go to Edit -> Find / Replace texture...

You will see this window:

... fill in the name of the texture and common/caulk as in the picture.

The caulk texture is not drawn in the game, but highly visible in Radiant ( pink and yellow checkerd ).

to find that hidden texture!!!

when using select from texture you must have only one selected face
this will then highlight in red (select) all the brushes using that texture

but... your saying i don't know where this texture is... so...

create a new brush and apply the texture to only 1 face, then with the selected face repeat the previous step and hey presto it'll show u exactly where it is :D

remember to delete the new brush u created
hope this helps, prob not cos it's all foreign 2 me :-/

Well tuffstuff7... how is the texture a problem if you cant see it anywhere? Thats what you want, right? I would personally ignore it until it became a problem?

And if there IS aproblem: What exactly is it?
