May be you know this but i found it now :)

Load a map, select all (ctrl+A) then copy, load another map, go to top view, past your map, move & rotate first map to an appropriate position.

Now the hard one is joining 2 corridors by lines and faces.

    Obviously, you'd have to ctrl+c (copy) and ctrl+v (paste) too :p

    I found a trick for working on a map you have already started, open the editor, hit ctrl + O, choose your .level file, and double click on it. Rotate the camera so you can see it.

    Now the hard part is finishing the rest of it.

    UWE needs to work on their grid snapping. If you have a different object in the mix than the others then it throws the exactism totally off.

    grid snapping should equal fast joining of rooms.

    You use a level where you design or gather all your (build) props in? Hmm... why not... I suppose the benefits are that you can easily pick them out and construct them in your level.
    Haven't think of that but that might come in handy.

    It's true that when you want to move two or more objects the "move"-grid is centered on those two or more objects, making it a pain to move whole parts of what you have constructed to join them together. It's too time-taking to join rooms together. On the other hand you can easily join two parts together using <a href="http://www.mendasp.net/index.php" target="_blank"><b>THIS</b></a> technique [video by Mendasp] called "Vertex snapping", you can do it by using "shift" or "alt". This comes in rather handy sometimes, but still when you try to join multiple parts (one after anotherp) it still is rather time-consuming, but perhaps that's just the way it is ?!?

    Make blank map, start placing every prop straight down the list, align them up by categories, and enjoy. Certain mappers find these "prop levels" much more effective at picking out props than a browser window.

    They're not really that hard to make. Just make a level with every prop.
