outline problem

[superturk]

Before i hit CSG Subtract (below)


After i hit CSG Subtract (below)


so does anybody know why when i subtract it it outlines a box instead of the archway itself??

Don't use csg subtract. Make the arch the way you did. Then make small rectagular brushes above, and into the arch. When the brush is highlighted, select "e". After doing that, click on one of the corners, then click the other side of the brush a short ways up. This will create a sort of triangle. Several of these will work on each side of the arch.

never mind.......... read this

Yeah if at all possible don't use CSG subtract. You would be better off building all the brushes yourself.

Agreed, I never use CSG subtract, it's an easy way to mess you up, even if you are a pro at this.

i dont understand this tut!!!!!!!!

It is ok if the patch overlaps brushes. Just make a rough hole that is about the same shape. In other word, put some triangles in the corners.

Basically it says to make small brushes around and into your arch. Having done that, with the brush selected. hit the letter x.......... click on one corner of the brush, and then click the other side to make the brush "cut" itself off........ on an angle......... to follow the arch. Do it all the way around the arch.


Practice.......... make a brush............. while it's selected

hit the letter X

click on one side of the brush.... I think a blue dot appears.

click on the other side of the brush......... slightly higher.........

brush should cut itself on an angle......... hit enter and deselect

Put some triangles in the corners. To cut a brush, use the clipper tool -- looks like three conneted dots on the tool bar.

sometimes i dont comprend stuff and even sometimes stuff that i know

[tltrude]

Yes, it is key X, or the button with three dots. To use it, do the dots in a clockwise direction around the brush. If you like the cut, hit enter, if not hit escape and try again. If it cut off the wrong part, hit the key to the left of key 1 (~) and it will switch parts.
