But a patch mesh will have more faces than he has already, and he will need a 2 sided texture. Live with the brushes.

what you could do is make a simple patch like storm said 3 x 3 vertex points should be good. rotate it so that it is standing up at the angle you want . Then on the top view press v to show the verticies move the center verticies back a bit to make the curve you want , then choose thicken from the curves menu . Put 2 or whatever in the amount box and make sure seams is checked . make sure you are on grid 1 before you do this also curves don't affect vis I don't think so you don't have to make it detail .

1st possibility: use the patch mesh and apply a two sided texture: You could make your own easily: Find the already used shader for it, looks like interior/woodpanelfill. Change/add the red stuff and save this as main/scripts/classroom.shader

textures/classroom/chairwood
{
surfaceparm wood
qer_keyword wood
qer_keyword wall
qer_keyword flat
qer_editorimage textures/interior/woodpanelfill.tga

cull none
{
map textures/interior/woodpanelfill.tga
depthWrite
rgbGen identity
}
{
map $lightmap
rgbGen identity
blendFunc GL_DST_COLOR GL_ZERO
depthFunc equal
}
}


In MOHR, you should then find a texturefolder classroom and in there the texture chairwood.
Apply this to the patch mesh! It will look transparent from one side in MOHR but not in MOHAA.

2nd: Select all brushes of one chair, turn them into a func_group.
Then, when you want to select the chair, select one brush of it and press Ctrl-e -> whole chair is selected

well i gess i turned into one of my own ways :P i build up those 4x4 vertices and in vertex mode modified it but has it is a 1 square brush (very thin) the vertices will only form something like this:

the only way i got to make this was to put 2 brushes sort of equivalent and subtracting the 1st brush to the 2nd :D this only got me 3 new brushes instead of these 8 brushes:

:D you may check it out at my demo map:

it the classroom

these are the tables:
_____________
chalkboard side
1 2 3 4
5 6 7 8
9 a b c
d e f g

take a look at the b table chairs and the c table chairs. the c table have 8 faces (round ones) the b table chairs has only two faces ther lika square... wich of them looks best? i'd apreciate that

It sure will be interesting to see what the ASCII was meant to look like.

You can CSG subtract curves with curves? Can you do the same with brushes to curves and vice versa?

I'm curious

If you draw a line between the two holes, is that line on one of the "0" grid lines?
