This way you'd make a cap for a bevel, u must go:
curve>primitives>bevel
that just makes another bevel :/

yes.

and making a brush, then going curve>cap>bevel doesnt do anything....

i can make the actual bevel but not the caps for it.

So, I take it like this:

1st, u make a brush
-> You get a brush :D
2nd, you keep the brush selected
-> The brush is tinted red :D
3rd, you do Curve/Primitive/Bevel
-> The brush turns into a bevel :D
4th, you keep the bevel selected
-> The bevel is tinted red :D
5th, you do Curve/Caps/Bevel
-> You get that small green box :shock:

Could you post a screenshot of this green thing? And/or a link to what u've done?

there.... and i did exactly what that previous list you just made says...

1) made a brush, converted it to a bevel using curve>primitive>bevel
2)selected the bevel, went curve>cap>becel
3) got a green box entity looking thing.

extra 2) I also tried making the cap from a completely new brush here instead of selecting the bevel, but this didnt do anything

:!: ur norton is not active :wink:
:?: what happens if u open a map file with a capped bevel? here's one e.g.
:?: what happens if u - instead of curve/cap/bevel - choose curve/cap/cylinder.dialog
:?: why don't u scale ur screenshots to something decent? I see a pretty photoshop icon on ur screen. Ever tried 'save for web'? :wink:

That little green box looks just like the thingy you will get if you don't have the entdefs.pk3 in your main, like if you load a map with many scripted models in it, only some green boxes (models) will appear.
But I don't know if that also would be with creating bevels?? :?

edit: i deleted the lines which became obsolete when AtOmic found the solution

Nevertheless, I found some things in your preferences you might better change:
Wide toolbar - would give u some nice additional buttons, check it out
Paint sizing info - might be annoying, but well, I think it's helpful
Use Quake3 map format - ought to cause lots of trouble when checked
Texture scale - textures seem to be made rather for a scale of 0.5, they look better then. So I'd change this to 0.5
Snapshots - U'll have to delete them once in a while, because they get many, but u'll love them after ur radiant did crash... U can wait for the time coming

Wahoo, it does. AtOmic, this was a good one :D

so, Szico, find ur entdefs.pk3 in ur radiant folder and copy it in mohaa/main (or is it mohaa/mainta for SH?) and things ought to be good finally. And u'll even be able to set a player start then :wink:
