Editor Basics

You can access the editor by either selecting 'Editor' from the main menu (If available), opening the console with the Tilde key (~) and typing 'editor', or by pressing Alt+Ctrl+F5 while in a map.

In the center of the editor, you will see either one large viewport (Known as the Maximized View), or 4 smaller viewports (Known as the Quad View). You can switch between the Quad View and the Maximized view by pressing Enter.

When maximized, you can quickly switch between multiple views by using the following numpad keys:

• 1: Front view
• 3: Right view
• 7: Top view
• 9: Perspective view

You can think of it like each numpad key is related to the layout of the viewports in the Quad View:

-----------  -----------
| Top     |  | Persp   |
|    7    |  |    9    |
|         |  |         |
-----------  -----------
-----------  -----------
| Front   |  | Right   |
|    1    |  |    3    |
|         |  |         |
