Map editor - I find it impossible

I've used 3d Studio max for a couple of years. No problem. UnrealEd and Worldcraft have been user friendly. This...?

Not so for me so far. I'm having a hell of a time trying to figure out how the RED editor works.

For example: how do I snap my brushes to the grid? How can I change my hotkey bindings? Ie. - I want CTRL to be my move key instead of M. I want my mouse to control the camera instead of A,Z,2,4,6 and 8.

I want to scale textures without UVW mapping every single one.



How do I do these? Oh, and how do I make elevators, ladders, doors and all the other cool things. Documentation for the editor is kinda scarce and editor forums are few and far between. Any help would be welcome.

I find this editor very unfriendly to use, so far.

Maybe it's just me? Am I doing something stupidly wrong for the editor to be so difficult or do others identify with my frustration?

Time to go back to training...

I suggest you try the second two firstly.
