Ok guys, another noob question. Is there any way, other than the rotate function, to snap a brush to an accurate 45 degree angle. For example, I have a building that has the doorway on the corner. I draw a brush for the wall, press R to rotate, but I just can't seem to get acurate 45 degree angles that way. Anyone have info for me? Thanks for any help.

Instead of trying to rotate the brush 45 degree's move the brush edges so that they create a 45degree brush. You can edit the edges of a brush by hitting the 'E' key and dragging the blue vertex corners to make the brush perfectly angled. Try making the grid a bit smaller and you shouldn't have a problem with it. The edges of the brush should appear to be straight but zoom in just to make sure.

Select whatever you want to rotate Go to Selection->Rotate->Arbitrary rotation. In the Z box, fill in 45. Press ok. voila, perfect 45 degree angle. edit: or learn to use the clipper tool. You can cut any angle you want with that. edited on Apr. 29, 2008 11:50 am by The_Caretaker

~~Why don't you just draw out two brushes that intersect at a 45 angle??~~ ^^^^^^ Strike that. About rotating brushes; if you find that they don't line up after rotating, try reducing your grid size and move them into place. edited on Apr. 29, 2008 11:51 am by P.C.Invasion

Thanks for the fast replys guys. Carcass - I knew about the E key for the vertices. I haven't tried using that on the broad side of a brush, just the ends. I'll try that. Carcass and PCl - I have set the grid to the lowest setting, but still have issues. It might just be me! Caretaker - I think that is exactly what I'm looking for. I do know how to use the clipper tool, but again, I would be relying on my crooked eyes! Thanks again everyone.

Learn to use the clipper tool. It's a GREAT tool to know how to use. There are tutorials on how to use it in the tutorial section.
