Hello everyone and thank for the help you give me so far.

It behaves like the grid size is set to 1 ... I am a bad enghlish speaker so maybe a picture can make you understand what i`m saing ...
Thx you in advance

Look just to the left of the number you circled in that image - it says "Snap: Off." Your snap-to-grid is disabled. Press Shift+W to re-enable it.

It's an annoying "feature" in Hammer, as it's easy to bump on/off and it isn't particularly useful as grid size 1 is typically enough...

There is no "N" in "Turret."

Additionally, if you want to move an object less than 1 unit without take the snap off, hold down 'Alt' while moving the object.

Hey, i don`t want to make another topic and i have another question. What do i do to make that little blue squares on overlays disapear ?

The blue square won't appear in-game. It's the only thing you can click on to select an overlay in the editor though, so you definitely don't want to get rid of it.

env_soundscape.
Ingame you can "browse" the soundscapes by typing "playsoundscape <name here>" into the console.
In portal 2portal2scripts you can find some textfiles with soundscapes in it.
