Pure beauty. Just wonderful work,sock. What editor do you use? NetRadiant?

@gnounc, thanks
@toneddu2000, I am using GTK 1.3 (Very old version), my source maps are compatible with the latest version. I have modified the editor config files to work with Quake texture and entities, the compilers understands the map format and just uses want it needs to compile.

I see. Just curiosity because I was always be able to use 3d modeling softwares but always sucked with game editors: how do you face the absence of layers in GTK? Do you make tons of func_group?

I personally use func_group entities for organization of brushwork. The most powerful feature of GTK is the filters, that is the quickest way to toggle stuff on or off so that it is easier to see what you are working with. Another method is to use the camera clipping, reduce it down to 10-15 and you will draw a limited amount of objects around the camera. (I think you have to enable this feature, it might not be on by default)

never used, I'll take a look

When I first see GTK Radiant I searched for hours on the net to change the camera clipping to unlimited because I thought it was an error! Never thought about that as a designer aid! I've a lot to learn about this matter...
Thanks a lot for your precious hints, sock and, again, great work!
Always thought that "the Bridge Crane" was the most beautiful map made with Radiant
