Re: Flexible rotation
Tip Rating: -1.00
" "Do you think it's annoying when you can't rotate things 180 with exact precision? Well have you tried ticking the "15 degree rotation" box in the "2D view"-settings? Do that and it shouldn't be a problem. What? You need stepless rotation again? Well, just hold the shift button and rotate." - lillerik
Or...
Press Ctrl+M and type in 180 in "X" and press OK." - Phott
Sorry, should me "Y" and not "X" :SCategory: Hammer
Easy random entity rotation
Tip Rating: 0.00
Have you ever had a model such as a tree which you need to rotate each time you add it? Here is a simple way.
1) Open a new file in hammer.
2) Create your entity/model and place it just below the map origin as shown in the picture below:
3) Go to the right hand bar and click the tick-box to give it a random yaw (rotation). This means that each time you place the prefab, it will rotate from above randomly.
4) Click 'Create Prefab'.
5) Save the file with any name you wish in sourcesdk/bin/<engineName>/bin/prefabs
where <engineName> is either ep1 or orangebox depending on which game you are mapping for.
6) To use your prefab, select the entity tool, then in the same box as 'Create Prefab' click the 'Categories' drop-down list and select prefab. Then in the 'Objects' drop-down list select the prefab you just made. Place like a normal entity.

If you press Alt + E while in Vertex Edit Mode, you can scale your vertices. You can change where they scale from too. (Make sure you have some selected first)
