Does anyone know of a easy way to get rotated brushes to butt up against each other? I've clipped the corners off a square brush and clipped them again and this is where my problem comes into play. The brush i rotate comes fairly close to joining the clipped brush but either one side is touching and the other isn't or the brushes are inside eachother.

I've set the grid to 1 but I still can't get them to align.

Thanks

I try to avoid rotating brushes that need to be connected to another...its best to use the clipper tool on both brushes

If you are going to rotate, make sure you are set to about gridsize 3/4 minimum. Rotating in anything smaller will not provide good results.

Clipper all the way.

Ok, thanks I will try that.

For the record: I tried it and it didn't work.

Well I've given up on trying this and Luke offered to help but I figure I might want to know how to do it again in the future (or someone else may) so here is a pic.http://mysite.verizon.net/vzerw398/site ... brush1.jpg

What I would do in your case it press V so I can drag the edges up to the wall, but thats just me and my noobish way of mapping

The reason you getting this problem is simply bad angle. Whatever you are ttrying to line it up to is at a terrible angle. You could use V (or E) and that would work, but thats honestly bad mapping practice.

So using the clipper is the correct answer?

never rotate at a low grid size, if possible use the clipper.

Yeah, just practice using the clipper, it can be tricky to get things to align perfect sometimes.

For an example, if you wanted to create a brush between the 2 dots



The way i do it is first draw a brush between the 2 points u want to join to



The brushes its joining to are 1 unit, so clip the inside 1 unit in



So now you've clipped that side it should look like this



Now do the same on the other side



And then you should have your brushes joined up nicely

Very nice demonstration. Thanks Luke, maybe I will try to do it in my map afterall.

Thats a pretty clever way of doing it Luke
