How to cut brushes

Skyforger2

I got a Cube i want to cut it to half to make 2 triangles. How do i do it ?

This really annoys me that the simplest things in Hammer is the hardest in Spark.

At the moment you "cut" it using the line tool, just create a line where you want the cut to be then select and separate it by moving it, after which you have to create a new face on both parts (cut tool is not in there yet)

I don't see why this needs to be said. How many years has Spark been out? Hammer?

Okay.

yeah after some time i figured it out by just moving brush edges.

But this simple things is the main thing that puts me off mapping and i think will wait for more complete tools, <b>But then when i see screen shots what other people make i must make some room as well as i am jealous that they could and i can't</b>

Keep in mind this is an alpha. The whole point of the release is to find the shortcommings and fix them ;)

I find the fact that some of our more talented members have been able to churn out simply amazing shots in the few days it's be available utterly astounding.

Alright, no sweat. It's better that you are not.

But if you've got a particular shape you are unable to make, just find/make a picture of it and I'm sure someone will be able to help ya out. I've found the Spark editor works very differently from hammer, in the sense of how to approach designing rooms. The work flow is entirely different, and it can make certain things particularly difficult.
