You can use "func_group" or "script_object" on your brushes to make them a single entity. But, you can't make them a single brush.

Brushes are the little building blocks that maps are made of.

Look at this thread:This is how brushes sometimes can be joined

about what tltrude said: having made several brushes a single entity, you only have to select one of the brushes and then press ctrl+e to select all entity's brushes. Just in case you didn't know :wink:

Yes you can!!! But the option thats in the mohr that lets you merge(Image) brushes is really a waste. It will merge two brushes into one if they are both the same thinkness and width. If they differ in either you will get "Cannot add a set of brushes with a concave hull.". What that means I dont know. Wish that option worked though....would really cut down on the faces :)

If two brushes have one face in common, select both and press Ctrl + u

In the thread I mentioned above is a picture to explain it.

MOHAA's engine has a big don't built into it: concave brushes. So, when it says: "Cannot add a set of brushes with a concave hull," it saying that if you were to add those to brushes the result would be concave and therefore bad. Try making a concave brush by editing edges or verticies and you'll run into problems immediately.

The only exceptions are patch meshes and LOD terrain but those are really different cases.
