Hi, i dont seem to be able to group, brushes with gtk radiant, i designing map for Q3. ok, so im selecting the brushes i want to group together, i load the entity window, double click fun_group and my entities are not grouped. Am i doing something wrong?

The entitiy window displays a classname and func_ group for the key and value, surley this is correct?, do i have to type a 1 or something into the val or key?

Is grouping as simple as selcting the brushes then double click Func_group?, or am i missing something?, i dunno eh, can i make a keyboard shortcut and add it to my gtk radiant starup?, ie ctrl/shift/G or something?
Please help, i dont wanna get stuck so early on.

I find the easiest way of making any brush-based entity is by selecting the brushes, then right-clicking on them in a 2D view and picking the entity you want on the context menu.

The method you described should work though.

thanks shallow, youre methaod is an easier way to group, however, i just dont seem to be getting it, my brush edges turn blue, is this correct?
What do you use to select the brush group, is it shift/left click?

func_group brushes should appear light blue in the 2d view irrc.

Assuming you're using Gtk 1.5, grouped the brushes as described above and according to Gtk's 'Transition from older versions'-FAQ:
Why doesn't ctrl+alt+lmb select whole entities?
This feature was changed slightly. Select a brush and hit ctrl+alt+e to select the whole entity.
