Designing maps
I use symbols and fill the place with bazillions of arrows pointing out details. most plans fit on a post-it note, because thats what's handy. They end up very crampt
I tend to just sketch something on paper usually just a top view once I have that I go to Hammer and I can work out the rest.
Reminds me of how sloppy mine are when I make sketches hehe
my skicc for http://heroes.hardwired.hu/-/portal/portmap.html
I hope I can add all 7-8 room till mapcontest ends.
Started from the top right.
too bad I cant post in any of the map threads, no permission to open topic in WIP.
This is probably some evil diabolic plan to steal peoples map designs 
Good luck to him if he does, I can't comprehend a single one of these sketches

Who needs to steal ideas? What with all the gameplay possibilities they opened up in Portal, I have more map ideas that I will ever possibly have time to execute. Hey kids, it's time to play favorites!
