edit: browsing around on forums some people it has to do with the transition_entry/exit.vmf
instancestransitionstransition_entry.vmf
instancestransitionstransition_exit.vmf
I simply rebuild these files from decompiled maps, but I'm sure Valve will catch this up.

edit2: delete your portal2/sdk_content/maps/instancing folder and then re-install the sdk
doesn't get rid of the error, but things seem to work fine

That is safe to ignore.
If you are using the transition_entry.vmf and _exit.vmf Instances raw then you need to enclose them in a box. Look more closely at the instances, they are just free-floating entities.
However they still won't work. You should be using the arrival_departure_transition_ents.vmf Instance. But you will get some weirdness even still! Look at this post I made that goes into great detail on how to use these Instances - including a custom transition_ents.vmf Instance that you can use.

Can't type H, U or C into the model browser, and the particle browser shows nothing (to me anyways)
You need to extract all of the particles from the VPKs,and place them in the right folder, the SDK apparently can't read them from the VPK. (this includes particles_manifest.txt)
Speaking of particles, Anyone got them to compile properly in a map? Every time I do it they don't appear in-game when triggered.
I got confetti working, but never tried any other ones.
What particles are you trying Grox?

hello everyone ... any ideas how to fix this one?
when I try to compile map, I get this msg: "can't decode command 2binhammer_run_map_launcher.exe!"
tried everything like verifying cache and deleting vrad.exe etc files and redownloading etc, even moved all portal 2 + authoring tools onto c: drive into default steam path and still it doesnt work.
I know its still beta and things dont work as they should but people are normaly able to compile maps and stuff.. or no? 
atm I am still compiling through alien swarm
I've been running into a crash error every other time I double-click on a light entity. I thought it was a one time thing but it's done it three times already. It's conditioned me to be afraid of opening light properties.
Mostly dust particles I snagged from VALVe maps. (first map, first box/button puzzle, the room shakes violently and dust falls, those particles) They refuse to work at all, even if I just copy/paste (I checked for I/O to the particles and the only one was to turn them on which is what I am doing) and yet other particles work. (for example, toxic fog works.)
Not quite sure if this is a bug or not but I barely started having to use the cordon tool in my map and when I went to go make another cordon brush, I noticed there were two brushes instead of just one. It's more of an OCD thing for me to only have one at a time and it's driving me nuts trying to figure out how to remove extra ones. I'm guessing its a new feature since they actually have a button to make new ones but still. Anyone know how to go about removing them? Enter used to do the trick but not anymore.
