-Diversity vents are used to suck puzzle elements, such as turrets, out of the chambers. They were scrapped from the game as a testing element and were used instead as an updated version of the Vital Apparatus Vent. However, the tools to create them are still available.

-* Create several [[prop_static]] entities with the model name ''props_bts\vactube_128_straight_b.mdl''.

-* Line up the tubes, then place another [[prop_static]] entity with the model name ''props_bts\vactube_90deg_01.mdl''. This is the curved tube.

-* To finish the vent, place one more [[prop_static]] entity with the model name ''props_bts\vactube_connector.mdl''
-== Creating the vacuum ==
-* For straight tubes: create a 64x64 [[trigger_push]] brush entity and texture it with the Trigger texture. Place it inside the straight tubes and line it up with the origin of the straight tubes to ensure it's directly in the center.
-* Make the brush length as long as the vent tubes.
-* For the curved tube: create another 64x64 [[trigger_push]] brush entity textured with Trigger. Place it inside the curved tube and stretch it down to the floor and up to the bottom of the straight tube's [[trigger_push]] entity. This will lift physics objects into the straight tubes, then carried away.
-In the object properties of all [[trigger_push]] entities, ensure the '''Physics Objects''' flag is checked. The '''Speed of Push''' should be set to 1500, and make sure the '''Push Direction''' is correctly set with the direction of the tubes.
-== Removing vacuumed objects ==
-* At the opposite end of the tube, where the player may lose sight of objects being carried away by the vacuum, place a [[trigger_multiple]] brush entity that is 128x128x16 large. This will be used to remove the physics objects in the tube.
-* For the [[trigger_multiple]] entity:

-|}
-== Finishing up ==
-[[File:vent2.png|200px|thumb|right|Finished Vent]]
-* Directly underneath the entry tube where objects will be sucked in, place a [[info_placement_helper]] on the floor. Set the ''Radius'' to 64, and set the ''Force placement'' to Yes.
-* Above the [[info_placement_helper]], and below the entry tube, place a [[point_push]] facing up (-90, 0, 0). Adjust the '''Radius''' to about 250, and set the '''Magnitude''' to -40. This will add a smoke effect when placing portals.
