Okay so I start up the SDK and everythings working great. I right click the cube icon and creat a box, or brush if you will. Now I want to move the brush so I can make other rooms and whatnot. I know its CTRL+left click to move the brush but it simply wont let me move it, I can CTRL+right click to rotate it, but it just wont move for the life of me. I assume its an issue with the editor, or simply users error seeing as Im not very good with these types of programs yet. I've tried uninstalling/re-installing multiple times and still this issue persist. Any insight or a smack upside the head would be great, I hope im just being really retarded about this cause I'd love to start creating some maps =D Thanks guys.

hey great to hear your interest in making maps!
it's always good when ppl get into it.
so are you talking about the red builder brush?
if nothing is selected ued will default move the builder brush, so it should be moving even if you dont have anything selected.
once you get that figured out, press the "bsp subtract" button.
now the box has walls in the 3d view, and if you move the builder brush out of the way, you'll see a yellow subtraction brush.
in the 3d view, click on the walls, they should turn slightly bluish if you have selected them right.
if they arent selecting, then your antialiasing is on, and you should make it application controlled.
here's some streaming tutorial classes i made like last year i think. ppl would watch what i was doing, and saying, and ask questions through a steam chat window, as they had the program open themselves.

I suggest some professional tutorials and that would begin here

You can type in google "UDN Two" followed by "static mesh" or "movement" or almost anything and you are bound to have something useful popup that leads to the problem your having.

No no, I get all that. Its just quite simply I can't move the red brush around, you make a box via the cube creater tool for example I create a 500x500x500 cube. I click build then close the window, now I want to move my 500x500x500 cube around to a different location, if im not mistaken to move the brush you use CTRL+Left click and drag the mouse to where you want your cube. But it simply wont move, it will however let me rotate the cube with CTRL+Right click but I dont know why it's not letting me physically move the cube to another location. I can apply textures and all that jazzy stuff, but it wont let me move it. It will though, let me move stuff such as player spawns, lighting, pretty much everything BUT the brush. I'm confuzled >.> the only thing I can think of is an application error on my end, either that or im just really retarded lol

"so are you talking about the red builder brush?"
Yes I am, it will only let me rotate the builder brush with CTRL+Right click, but it wont however let me physically move it via CTRL+Left Click. I've seen multiple videos partaining to this program and it is my understanding this is how you move the red builder brush tool (CTRL+Left Click) but it just wont budge for some reason >.>

hmm, well, if you have teamspeak v3, join 63.251.20.106 port 9987 , you can talk to s281 and i about it as you work with it.

I'll give it a try, but I thought uninstalling/re-installing would have taken care of that problem. But I can give it a shot.

The little grid icon on the bottom of the program was checked and my grid size was crazy big so it was trying to snap to the grid when there wasn't a grid around lol. So I lowered the size and unclicked it and it works just fine now. Guess I acc clicked that at one point when I first started the program and couldn't figure out how resolve my issue. Anyway, thanks again. Have a good one
