I've spent HOURS trying to figure out how to make a brush roof. Can someone direct me to some sort of tutorial?
Thanks.
Thanks.

By making a brush roof, do you just mean creating the geometry for angled roofs? If you're trying to angle brush faces you can use the vertex edit tool, which allows you to position individual vertices to where you want: here you could create a box, and raise one edge of the box.

Take a look at that picture; it's the kind of roof I'm talking about. I don't know how to get that result with the vertex tool.

Here's the valve maps decompiled:

but don't just copy+paste into your map, try to learn to do it youself instead

But those are very simple roofs, aren't they? It's easy to make that kind of roof with the vertex tools only, just make two halves (make a box, then drag your desired edges upwards) and put them together afterwards, mirroring one of them. In fact, the roofs you're referring to might even be a bit thick - 4 or 8 units thickness is usually good.

Now, It's been a while since I've done any mapping, but aren't these kind of roofs practically "my first room" type of stuff? It's just transforming a flat brush surface into a sloped one.

Here, I wrote up a quick tut for you

Hopefully after going through these steps, it will open some doors for you to learn how to manipulate brushes.... CORRECTLY, not just sloping and stretching things.
