One problem i am having however is that when i create a new window, there seems to be no way to drag it outside of the main hammer window, so i can't drag it to my second screen. Any idea how to fix this? Any reply would be greatly appreciated :) Kind regards, Nick Hi Timothy,

Also what would you say that your grid settings should be set to? I had mine dotted for a while, but than switched to lined with low intensity and default highlighting. i suppose it's just preference, but was wondering what you guys thought. Very good.

Another good thing to do would be to turn off 2d wireframes of props when you're not directly working wth them, these really clutter up hammer and make things look more confusing. A second suggestion is to turn on "Select brushes only by centers" while vertext editing; it makes selections (dragging out a rectangle) less hazardous and less likely to grab other unwanted brushes instead. Nice!
