I think the [[Creating a box dropper#Step 2|second step]] in this page needs clarification. To me, it's hard to tell what all the brushes have to look like or where they go. I decided to post my complaint here because it's so much easier than adding [[Template:Clarify|clarify]] templates everywhere and making a mess. <span style="color: blue; font-weight: bold;">:P</span> --[[User:Nathaniel|Nathaniel]] 15:58, 23 October 2010 (UTC) | I think the [[Creating a box dropper#Step 2|second step]] in this page needs clarification.

I also hope to write this over the weekend. --Remmiz 01:16, 17 Nov 2007 (PST)
- I was just about to start this...looks like someone beat me to it :P --Remmiz 00:14, 20 Nov 2007 (PST)
- That would be me. --Baliame 09:07, 20 Nov 2007 (PST)
Isn't carving stuff a very bad idea? Solokiller 09:03, 20 Nov 2007 (PST)
- It eventually becomes a func_detail, so it's nothing serious. You may use 8 vertex edited brushes, but you obviously won't need more than maybe 4 or 5 of these on your map so it's nothing game breaking. (I mean I wouldn't recommend using carve at all if you had to make, say 15 brushes with cubical holes inside them, seriously now, THAT would be a very bad idea.). --Baliame 09:06, 20 Nov 2007 (PST)
- Still, it's pretty bad practice, as far as cleanliness of construction goes. I think it would be better to instruct the designer to build a cylindrical hole, and suggest carving as a possible method. --Campaignjunkie (talk) 12:59, 20 Nov 2007 (PST)

Clarification needed
I think the second step in this page needs clarification. To me, it's hard to tell what all the brushes have to look like or where they go. I decided to post my complaint here because it's so much easier than adding clarify templates everywhere and making a mess. :P --Nathaniel 15:58, 23 October 2010 (UTC)
