@andyb

Yep, thats just how I did it.

@chimera201

[spoiler]I did use the four cubes to trigger the final faithplate. I didnt mention this before because that was the easy part.[/spoiler]

Did you mean 'Aftermath' (all one word), like the aftermath of an event? or am I actually wrong and you meant to call this 'After Math' like, "after math, there will be geography" ??

I mean't both.
Aftermath-what happened to wheatley after Portal 2
After Math-difficult than Portal 2

...Are you sure this is your first game map?

Yep. Started learning Hammer in July. The most important thing I learned is that the no. of times Hammer crashes and the no. of times Valve changes stuff by updating are almost same and both are high But I still like Valve.

The map looks kinda like Portal 1, as in just Black & White, but so are Wheatley chambers, but can you add some details, at least?

[spoiler]First reason:I do not have time.
Second reason:It's a satellite. Can't make holes or explosions in a satellite. Aperture has very few resources in satellite.

I will add some details like an air vent and cameras,etc[/spoiler]

@all : Thanks for the feedback

I better explain the solution to the third puzzle so that everybody can point out if they cheated at some point against my intended solution.

@andyb,benvent: You can point out better now where am I going wrong

Please play the map atleast once before looking at the solution

[spoiler]Faithplate 1
1. grab the cube from the dropper
2. portal the light bridge so that the cube can redirect the vertical laser activating the 1st faithplate

Faithplate 2
1.Move on to faithplate 1
2.Grab both the cubes above faithplate 2
3. use one cube on floor to redirect one ground laser into the portal
4. use other cube on top of central wall redirecting the laser from above step to activate 2nd faithplate.

Faithplate 3
1. Move on to faithplate 1
2. Grab one cube below faithplate 3
3. redirect the other ground laser into the portal
4. move onto faithplate 1
5. use the other cube to redirect the laser from above step activating 3rd faithplate.

FAithplate 4
1. move onto faithplate 1
2. grab the cube redirecting the vertical laser while in air.
3. place cube on cube floor button
4. portal light bridge on horizontal wall pushout
5. 4 cubes are below. Use one to redirect vertical laser and stack other 3 up to activate 4th faithplate.[/spoiler]

Hope everybody solved the first 2 puzzles as per my intended solution

I'd need to see a pic or demo of it before I understand what you mean.The only place i use the vertical was to activate the last faithplate uptop.
My other pic didnt show the setup for the firstplate.This one does.All it requires is to shoot the orange portal at the high panel while going by and it activates number 2 and 3 faithplates.My first run I just dropped the cube on number one and shot it around.benvent put a cube on number 2 to avoid trying to hold it and shoot portals at the same time,thats about the only difference between us

@andyb : I got it. I overlooked this simple possibility. Thanks for the pic.

Just consider that the upper half of the central wall is of metal black texture. Then you should get it. Hope the solution becomes simple now.

The first time I played I tried to use the vertical laser on the light bridge but the laser catcher didn't turn yellow like they usually do and the laser seemed low so I though it didn't work and then forgot to try it again later. I just played through again using your intended solution.

Brilliant map. Loved the last laser puzzle the most, and the vista on earth was great.

Personally I solved the puzzle exactly the way you indicate, it seemed the obvious solution. Not sure how it is possible to do otherwise, though I trust someone will always find alternatives.
