3. Make sure the surrounding ground is an axtual texture not a decal, they look very alike in Radiant but you can see through them.
4. You press Y to bring up the tool for that. Anymore than that I don't know because my tool won't open.
5. The maps are going to be very big in CoD4. Most maps around around 40-50 that are detailed. So there really isn't any way. Maybe try closing your skybox around the playable map as close to it and as low as you can.

Answer:
Y can only used on patches. Use V to move solid brush's vertices's. Y can be used for making terrain and for cave walls, floors, or cave roofs.

Question:
5. How can i keep the file size of my map low?(without taking things out from the map that are needed)

Answer:
I would suggest making "detail" brushes by right clicking in the 2D screen and selecting Make Detail. This might make the .map bigger, but helps on the .bsp

Hope these answers help you!
Few tips for coding.
1. Keep the script as short as possable.
2. Don't use comments unless you HAVE to point something out.
3. Don't over complicate the script, keep it orgainized and easy to read.

These help you find simple errors and makes it easy to make changes.
