all the tutorials i can find are basic but not REALLY basic.
Well my question is REALLY basic, how do you select a large amount of objects and copy them? I know to clone them you press space, but its selecting it all thats the problem.. I'm used to programs that you drag over the selected items to select them but, in GTK Radient this just draws another square. Is there a button i have to press?
Thnx in advance

You know, I've lost the count on how many times we've pointed you to the sticky thread.
Hold shift.

Sticky, sticky, sticky!
And read the manual.

Also, try creating a new brush and with it selected, right-click and choose one of the options in the select menu.

If you are trying to select everything in the map select a brush, the press "ctrl" + "a"...............I think.
If it's not that it's close.

Select EVERYTHING. Make a brush that has all other objects in it. Right click>select>inside.
Shift+A select all objects of one type like brushes or lights.
Come on boxboy, think think.

ok... i need more help, and this cant possibly be in the sticky. I copied the whole of q3dm17 (thanx to survivor's help.) Then moved it to where i wanted and de - selected. As i did this a lot of errors came up one after the other, and i didnt get screenshots as there were quite a few
Any suggestions why?

Was it in the same file? Maybe you exceeded the max limit of entities or something.

It's a bit hard to try and help when you say: "i got an error".
It could be anything. :>
