MOHAATools folder has a basic tutorial. Look for "Getting Started Tutorial.htm" in the docs folder.

After that, you can try the Basic Room video tutorial at this website. http://www.carbongraphx.com/mohaa/vidtuts.html

After you make your first brush, deselect it by hitting esc. Then you can make next brush. Or, while the first brush is still selected, "highlighted", you can clone it by hitting the space bar. To go back and modify, click on or shift left click on it ( don't remember ), to highlight it and then make your changes.

d and a on your keyboard are up and down. Hold right mouse button and slide mouse around will move you around your project. Also, up top in the right hand corner where the "eye" is....click it so it has the #2 showing.

RMB? if that stands for right mouse button it does not work. WHen i use the left mouse button it does work but it selects the entire brush.
ALso when i finish my map what do i do so that i can play it.

Make sure the eye icon at the top right has a 2 on it by clicking the icon untill it does . Then in the 3d view hold down the right mouse button to move forward and back and to rotate left and right . Hold down the control key and use the right mouse button to move up and down . Hold down the shift and control key to rotate the view up and down . Use the end key to center your view . Select one side of a brush by holding down the shift and control keys and useing the left mouse button or if the whole brush is selected holding down the shift and control keys will deselect one side or reselect it .

CTRL/SHIFT LMB :wink:

Hold down CTRL and with it held down press SHIFT and while both are still pressed then select a face with the LMB.
