i need some info

[Twist.vmf]

so i have a map idea and i need to know some stuff before i get started

1:how big is to big for hammer? the map is BIG so i need to know what hammer can handle

2:do you know any good tutorials for making a palode race?

3:what is the best and easiest way to make square or rectangular cuts in a map?

 

[The Letter Before A]

no map is too big for hammer unless its the size of a city
payload race doesn't require tutorials just use some prefab logic
don't make a map for cutting into a single brush, instead push your way through the map placing dev textures, basic entities and spawns as you go along. A lot of early mappers lay down the ground and go from there, others detail while the go through building the map. Don't do either of these.
Be sure you have a full on design on graphing paper before you start good luck.

well the letter before A, the reason i need to cut is because the map is trench warfare based so the cutting is to make it easy to manage and change
