Talk:Func detail
Is there any way to revert a grouped func_detail back into simple, ungrouped brush objects? I have a complex shape that is such an object and I need to fix a small problem with it. For some reason, Hammer refuses to revert them back. Glitschen 8:48, 24 Nov 2008 (PST)
- Make sure you are selecting groups or objects, not solids. --TomEdwards 12:19, 24 Nov 2008 (PST)

- I know it's 4 years late, but if you want to keep your func_detail and still edit all individual parts of it, use the ignore groups option and you should be fine :) --JorisCeoen 05:47, 19 August 2012 (PDT)

How many detail brushes would be considered too much to use in a single map. Cubedude 12:48, 7 Mar 2006 (PST)
- That depends on how you place them. Func_details does avoid cutting up visleaves, increasing performance, but if misused for larger things like walls, it also makes the area visible larger, decreasing performance. Many maps has a lot of func_details, but just make sure that you only use func_details for small or complicated brushwork. --Andreasen 12:59, 7 Mar 2006 (PST)
Invisible (tool) and other transparent brushes?
Do I have to func_detail 'invisible' brushes and others that do not visibly show on the game? Mattshu 09:01, 25 December 2010 (UTC)
Do the dxlevel KVs even do anything?
Func_detail is converted to regular brushes, so the entity KVs aren't kept in the entity lump, and afaik, brushes don't have KVs to say not to render them, so I really doubt the dxlevel KVs work on func_detail.

- Entity not being in entity lump doesn't mean the KVs can't affect stuff. Map compiler may still read the func_detail's KVs and apply appropriate flags or whatever for the brushes when compiling the map. Though whether dx level was being used here at any point I don't know --Nescius (talk) 10:33, 30 August 2024 (PDT)
- Worded the second half oddly; what I meant is that the compiled brush doesn't have an equivalent of those KVs, so unless it's being written somewhere else, I don't think it works. Looking at the VBSP source code, it is at least being parsed, but I'm not sure if it's being written.
