Tip:To equip and draw the weapon for quick work, developers can bind this command to a specific key. For instance, typing bind "X" "impulse 81"; "use weapon_cubemap" will bind it to the X key. (You may need to press it twice the first time you use it in a map.)
Note:
does have it in a working condition but needs the model from another game
Tip:For 
Black Mesa, you can use weapon_crossbow for checking cubemaps (look at the scope).

weapon_cubemap is an entity available in Half-Life 2 series, 
Portal series, and 
Portal 2: Community Edition.
This entity gives the player a set of spheres models/shadertest/envballs.mdl, each with different reflective surfaces. It is used for checking cubemaps.
The commands to receive the weapon_cubemap (typed into the console) is either impulse 81 or give weapon_cubemap.
These commands are considered cheats, meaning that sv_cheats or developer mode must be enabled for them to work.
You can switch to this weapon (after having received it) by typing use weapon_cubemap.
Tip:To equip and draw the weapon for quick work, developers can bind this command to a specific key. For instance, typing bind "X" "impulse 81"; "use weapon_cubemap" will bind it to the X key. (You may need to press it twice the first time you use it in a map.)Note: does have it in a working condition but needs the model from another gameWorkarounds
If your game does not have weapon_cubemap, rifle scopes could be used, such as the hunting rifle in 
Left 4 Dead 2 or the AWP in 
CS:GO, as alternatives.
Community mods have been made to implement weapon_cubemap into games that do not support it natively:
- Counter-Strike: Global Offensive: Tutorial by TopHattWaffle and Zool Smith
- Left 4 Dead 2: Tutorial by MrFunreal
Tip:For Black Mesa, you can use weapon_crossbow for checking cubemaps (look at the scope).FGD Code
@PointClass base(Weapon,Targetname, Parentname) studio("models/shadertest/envballs.mdl") = weapon_cubemap : "Cubemap"[]
