all the tutorials i can find are basic but not REALLY basic.
Well my question is REALLY basic, how do you select a large amount of objects and copy them? I know to clone them you press space, but its selecting it all thats the problem.. I'm used to programs that you drag over the selected items to select them but, in GTK Radient this just draws another square. Is there a button i have to press?

Thnx in advance :)

You know, I've lost the count on how many times we've pointed you to the sticky thread.

Hold shift.

Sticky, sticky, sticky!

And read the manual.
http://www.qeradiant.com/manual/

Also, try creating a new brush and with it selected, right-click and choose one of the options in the select menu.

If you are trying to select everything in the map select a brush, the press "ctrl" + "a"...............I think.

If it's not that it's close. :)

Select EVERYTHING. Make a brush that has all other objects in it. Right click>select>inside.

Shift+A select all objects of one type like brushes or lights.

Come on boxboy, think think.

Any suggestions why?

Oh, and i don't know if it's fixed in the later radiant but when i used to map alot turning everything would not affect the direction of spawnpoints so you could be looking at a wall.
