-The '''[[Carve]]''' command is very expensive to use and can work very slowly with complex geometry.

-Here are some of limitations and guidelines when using the Carve command:
-* When carving, as few brushes as possible should touch the carving brush.
-* Carving complex geometry, such as arches or cylinders with many faces, can take a very long time to complete.
-* Displacements and brushes with displacements attached should never be included in a Carve operation.
-* Static props and other prop models are not carved.
-* Carving often does not generate the optimal brush layout.
-Because of these issues, many level designers say that Carve should never be used. That is a matter of some controversy, and you will have to decide for yourself. At the very least, you should always make sure to save your work before attempting a Carve operation, and be careful to use the Carve command very conservatively.
