'''Tool textures''' are used, mostly by the tools but sometimes by the engine, to perform special tasks. They can easily be found in [[Hammer]] by using "tools\" as a filter in the [[Hammer Texture Browser|texture browser]].

{{tip|[[WiseClipped]] - tutorial on using many of the Source Tool textures shown below.}}

{{note|All tool textures that are assumed to be texturing an entity, work exactly like ordinary textures if applied to world brushes instead. As this makes them useless for world brushes, their visibility as world brushes is irrelevant. Also, many tool textures cut [[visleafs]]. If you aren't texturing an entity, you should tie the brush to [[func_detail]] or [[func_brush]] for [[Optimization_(level_design)|optimization]].}}

| {{note|This is the ''tools/toolsblack'' texture, not the ''halflife/black'' texture.}} This texture is often used for brushes that are far away and they are dark. It cannot be lit by any type of light, but is affected by fog color. An example of its use is in the "space" backgrounds during the G-Man monologues in Half-Life 2.<br>

| Foremost solid to bullets, but also to NPCs and physics projectiles. It does not block ''all'' projectiles, though. Projectiles from NPCs such as the acid spit from [[npc_antlion|antlion workers]], will still get through. To allow NPCs and their [[line of sight]] to pass through, turn the brush into a [[func_brush]] with its ''Solidity'' keyvalue set to a solid state.

===Nodraw===
 -->Not drawn in game, seals [[leak]]s, and is skipped by VRAD. Blocks visibility if used on all surfaces of the same brush.

Use Nodraw Portalable instead if this behavior is desired.
{{note|The "glass footsteps" version of this texture in {{portal2}} does not [[seal]] maps.}}
{{note|While no lightmap data is generated on nodraw faces, nodraw brushes still cast shadows.}}

| Leftover from [[GoldSource]], where a brush with this texture was used to set the rotation origin of rotating [[entity|entities]]. It is still functional in Source (overriding the entity's origin keyvalue), but no longer necessary. When placed outside of a brush entity, the compiler will fail with the error <code>origin brushes not allowed in world</code>. Not available in all branches.

| Blocks the [[line of sight]] of [[NPC]]s and [[bot]]s. ''[[mat_wireframe]] 1/2'' will reveal that while this texture doesn't block [[visleaf|visleaves]], it draws crossing polygons, and them alone are capable of preventing the engine from rendering enveloped brushwork. This can be worked around through turning the ''Block LOS'' textured brush into a [[func_brush]] with its ''Solidity'' keyvalue set to a solid state. (A ''Block LOS'' func_brush can still be traversed in this state.)
