actually, while i'm here, just dumping something so i remember... shortcut to make new brush appear snapped to face that would normally be moved (ie: face under cursor or face linked to the zone when face is not pointing toward camera) 

Thanks, I didn't know that's how it worked. Now when I know, I always keep the pointer above the brush I want to build from. 

How about using numpad 1-9 to change the grid AND also numpad + and -? Cause now I need to do ctrl+/-.

Sorry if my questions are basic and has been asked before. I'm new. 

Look at the docs and the main menu. You'll find all shortcuts there. Also check out the keyboard preferences. 

In TB2, Ctrl+Shift+Drag will create a new brush instead of resizing. 

i almost never drag out new brushes. i think that might be worth discussing too. 

It was discussed here: https://github.com/kduske/TrenchBroom/issues/418 

yeah, thanks, i just haven't had a chance to check anything out yet. :)

#1433 was mainly for a different subject I want to bring up later... 

Been going through the settings and so, but I can't find a setting to set the default texture? I would love to have the skip texture as the default one... 

 

There is no default texture in TB. 

Ok, cause when I compile I get some red/black checker texture, thought that was the "default" one, I guess that's just an "missing texture"-texture then. 

Yeah, that's the default Quake "I couldn't find the texture" texture. 

Ok, after using this feature, I see how it is basically what I was talking about in #1433. 

Trenchboom doesn't like me. 

That's an interesting interpretation ;-) 

It would be nice if the filter list could include func_detail =) 

when building structures like this with less than ideal geometry (http://i.imgur.com/LOFODUj.jpg) if you use the duplicate function (ctrl+D) and then align it, the brushes tend to be broken with the edges and vertexes off of the grid, slightly resized and moved. Some faces are also split into having 5 sides and everything tends to get all kind of janky. Sorry my screenshot doesn't show the result of geometry getting screwy. However it can be repeated by doing something like it.

However, building it by creating a unique brush for every bit of geometry as opposed to using the duplicate tool makes it work. 

 

There is a function that allows you to snap to grid. I have mine bound to the spacebar and I hit it every time I edit a vertice or duplicate a complex brush.

If you snap every brush to integers every time you touch anything, why exactly haven't you just turned off float precision? 

Because even with forced integers, TB can create offgrid geometry sometimes (vertex editing is particularly tricky). 

has no relation to the plane points being integer or not.
