Added this from IW NED. Please read

These are very nice little tutorials for beginners.
Mr. Earp has just the right voice to listen to.
Nice job o­n the tuts Wyatt.

Each o­ne of the tutorials do have some content that IMO might teach a bad habit or two for beginners.
But, since these are tuts for beginners and I assume that advance tuts of each of these beginner tuts will follow. I feel the tuts are ok as they are and will be very helpful for those who are just starting out or are simply wanting to play around with the editor.

So o­nce again, very nice job Wyatt.

I do, however want to step in and voice my opion o­n CSG Subtract.
It's bad, bad bad bad, don't do it, never do it, we need to remove that button from the tool bar.

It's a habit that I personally would like to see beginners *not* get into the habit of doing.
Using CSG can and may cause *you the mapper* more pain than you may ever know or *realize*.
CSG can and may create unwanted and unneeded splits in your brush work. It can cause more compiler errors than you'll want to try and fix.
The biggest problem with CSG... it's a fast and *easy* way to create openings in walls.

Please take my word (as a so-called Professional mapper) never use it.
Instead, learn to work with your brushes, mold those brushes into the shapes you want.
The Clipper tool is your friend, learn it love it.

And that's all I got to say about that.
