{{distinguish|linked_portal_door|desc1={{p2}} An unrelated entity, sometimes referred to as a "world portal"}}
[[File:Toolsareaportal.gif|link=Areaportal|left]] {{entity|func_areaportal|type=e2}} It creates an [[areaportal]], used to manage visibility in maps. When the portal is open it stops objects not visible through it from rendering; when the portal is closed it cannot be seen through at all.

These are not really brush entities. They are brush entities from a mapper/Hammer perspective, but by the time they reach the game, the brush is gone and this is, in effect, a point entity.

The entity's brush must be textured with <code>tools\toolsareaportal</code> (seen on the left) for it to function.
