That makes more sense Just select the lamp and up in the toolbar there are 2 icons...one is a green 0 if I remember correctly and the other is like 2 pink boxes...one of those should drop the model to the closest surface ie. a table. I dont have radiant in front of me to look for sure

I would also suggest before making something from memory / drawings / or images . . . try to practice your techniques on recreating your actual residence. When I was started out I did the basic tutorials to learn how to make simple blocky buildings, then started recreating my apartment at the time. (I still go back to them when i have forgotten something) Its something right in front of you and can give you great perspective on how to go about making a house. Once done sit back and look look at what you have and how it compares to what your residence really looks like.

Quote: practise is the key to success. i know this well. and i already started reading the tuts. placed a bunch of invisible ladders in a room lol :D question1: the ladder models i found in the xmodel folder were too high. is there any way to cut them down or something? question2: if i want to place a lump for example on a table, is there any easier way to do it other than "aiming" where the overlapping vanishes? like select the 2 models and using a key combo, stick the one on the other?is there something like this? Q1: You can resize a modle by selecting it and hit N to bring up the entity window and add this: targetname: modlescale value: X (the default is 1 so use .5 to make it half the size) and then hit enter to see it happen....may take some playing around with it to get it right. As far as question 2...not really sure if I understand what your trying to do its modelscale and not modlescale I guess, since I tried and modlescale did not change anything Thanks

for ladders I always use brushes and then the ladder texture. I have made ladders of different length and then I save them to prefabs so I dont have to make them again.

Well I wanted a way to use the stock ladders because they look cooler.The brush method and then ladder texture makes the ladder invisible. I have seen shorter ladders in custom maps but if I resize the ladder it becomes bigger or smaller. Can someone actually adjust the length of the ladder itself? Maybe I missed something, but can you please give me a direct answer? Thanks!

Unless you modify the ladder xmodel yourself, you cannot. You need to just lower it through the ground to make it shorter, and if it's sticking through another room, then you'll have to make your own ladder.

That's why I don't want to do it this way. The ladder is invisible if you just use the ladder texture on a brush. It isn't invisible when you use the stock model, obviously.

If you don't use the ladder texture, then players won't be able to climb up it.
