Um, Click on Grid and see what it's set to. Grid8 (4) is default, or you can just use your numpad.

btw: Anyone know how to fix this: I usually click on zero while moving around in my 3d window, after I do this I can't set it back to another number. I have to close radiant and reopen it, that a bug or am I doing something wrong?

Here are the grid sizes I use most frequently:

6 for caulk-blocking a new map
5 for the majority of brush creation
4 for fine-tuning
3 or lower, if need be, for extra fine-tunage

I'm with bork man. The subtract function is there for a reason. If you use it wisely and don't leave a million shards of brushes it can be a very effective tool.

I've never used CSGsubtract... not after a very "unfortunate" incident years ago back when I used to map for the original HL. Clipper is all you need.

I'm sure we could argue all day over the best method for cutting a door through a wall, but let's not.

seriously: when do you ever 'cut' a door through a wall? i usually do some brushwork around the door so cutting would be no help anyway...

and you don't have real walls in generic levels anyways.

In worldcraft it used to be called "Carve" and it was man's best friend. You couldn't do any fancy edge or vector editing back then, and there were no patches, so everything was done with brute force. Carving brushes was the quickest and easiest way to do a lot of things.

That was terrible! I would end up with invisible walls and all sorts of other issues. And you could to vector editing.

I never had any problems with it, or got invisible walls.

The version of worldcraft I had didn't have vertex editing capabilities. Of course I probably didn't look for it on newer versions of it. I started using it when it first came out and then when they added it I didn't even realize.
