The Entity Tool allows you to place point-based entities in a map. Point-based entities are those entities which exist only at a point, and do not rely on a brush for their effect. Also see [[Applying Materials]].

==[[File:Hammer block.png]] [[Hammer Block Tool|<u>B</u>lock Tool]] {{Key|Shift|B}}==
This is the basic creation tool in Hammer. The Block Tool allows you to create any of the different types of primitive shapes and prefab objects in the New Objects Bar. Also see Creating Brushes for additional information.

{{Distinguish|Hammer Map Tools Toolbar#Sprinkle_Tool_Shift.2BF{{!}}Hammer++ Sprinkle Tool}}
Like [[File:HammerPlusPlus SprinkleTool.png|24px]] [[Hammer Map Tools Toolbar#Sprinkle_Tool_Shift.2BF|Hammer++ Sprinkle Tool]]

{{Gmod|only}} The '''Sprinkle Tool''' allows for quick placement of pre-defined [[Entity|entities]] onto your map. The '''Sprinkle Tool''' requires a custom script in order for it to place entities. For more information, see [[Sprinkle]].

{{Note|'''This tool is also available in {{Csgo}}, {{As}}, {{Portal2}}''', although there's no toolbar icon. Use shortcut instead.}}

==[[File:Hammer ToggleTextureApplication.png]] [[Hammer Face Edit Dialog|Toggle Texture <u>A</u>pplication]] {{Key|Shift|A}}==
This button toggles the '''Texture Application''' mode on and off. '''Texture Application''' mode allows you to edit the properties of individual brush faces and create displacement surfaces. For more information, see [[Hammer Face Edit Dialog|Face Edit]] mode.

==[[File:Hammer ApplyCurrentTexture.png]] Apply Current <u>T</u>exture {{Key|Shift|T}}==
When '''Apply Current Texture''' is pressed, the current texture selected in the [[Hammer Textures Toolbar|Textures Toolbar]] is applied to all faces of the selected brushes, replacing all textures existing on the objects. Texture scale and shift parameters are unchanged – the new textures will use the existing parameters on the objects.

==[[File:Hammer ApplyDecal.png]] [[Hammer Decal Tool|Apply <u>D</u>ecals]] {{Key|Shift|D}}==
The Apply Decals tool is used to place decals upon objects. A ''decal'' is a texture that can be placed on top of another texture, combining the two.

==[[File:Hammer ApplyOverlays.png]] [[Hammer Overlay Tool|<u>O</u>verlay Tool]] {{Key|Shift|O}}==
The Overlay Tool is used to place overlays upon brush and displacement surfaces. An ''overlay'' is similar to a decal, but has some additional properties to control how the overlay is applied to the underlying surface.

==[[File:Hammer ClippingTool.png]] [[Hammer Clipping Tool|Clipping Tool]] {{Key|Shift|X}}==
The Clipping Tool allows you to slice the currently selected brush using clip planes. Clip planes enable you to precisely make a cut in a solid, leaving you the option to keep either or both parts of the resulting two solids. Also see [[Reshaping solids]].

==[[File:Hammer VertexTool.png]] [[Hammer Vertex Tool|<u>V</u>ertex Tool]] {{Key|Shift|V}}==
Vertex manipulation gives you complete control over the shape of a solid object. Using the Vertex Tool, you can reshape the object by manipulating individual vertices and brush edges, easily creating odd (and sometimes invalid) shapes. Also see [[Reshaping solids]].

==[[File:Hammer maya.png]] Send to Maya==
{{Portal2|only|addtext={{As}}}}
Export the selected brushes to Maya.
{{bug|The icon may sometimes not rendering properly.}}
