Let's make some complcated things. For example, let's create a ladder.

Ladder:
A lot of maps use the ladder to climb throw the walls / buldings. Now we are gonna learn how to creat a ladder.
First of all create a block with the "brush". Apply the "ladder" texture , after that press ctrl+t and select func_illusinary. At Render mode select Solid: Click to see screenshot and Click to see screenshot

Now we will create the "ladder Engine". Create a block with the same size as the ladder block, and stick it on the ladder block. To this block, we will apply the default texture, AAATRIGGERR ( pink with hal-life logo). After that, select the block, and press ctrl+t si and select func_ladder. This block will be sticked on the climbing face: Click to see screenshot

How can we cut walls?!
Is the most complicated thing in hammer, but we must try to learn it.
First, create a block with "brush", apply a texture and let's start. With the clipping tool start to cut like this::
» if we wanna cut it, we click 1 time on the clipping tool
» If we want to make a windows in the wall, click 3 times on the clipping tool ( we click after we mark the line. after you draw a line, press ENTER)

Direct cut : Click to see screenshot
