I wonder if GtkRadiant somehow allows me to add a brush to an existing (brush based) entity like a func_door without having to recreate the entity (and thus losing all properties). I saw this github issue from 2012 where similar functionality is being discussed. The OP even mentions 'move into entity' and 'move into worldspawn' functionality, but I can't find anything like this in the latest GtkRadiant 1.6 release (1.6.6). Am I missing something? If not, here's +1 for the feature request :)

Did you somehow skip right over this? :D

Or did I misunderstand?

It's a very old function, I do it a lot even in GTK4.
However, it took me a very long time to "find" the function, and I don't know but for some reason it can mess it all up if you select too many and do it in the "wrong order" or something hehe.

Ah yes, that's exactly what I meant. So it's in the context menu, jeez. I literally never use the context menu. I looked at all the menu items and buttons but it isn't there
Anyway, thank you so much for pointing this out to me :)

Do you mean to say you use that menu to create entities, but you never saw the top 4 options?
