Proper Brush Edges

Proper Brush Edges
Edge Tool

* The edge tool is toggled on and off only with the selected brush.
o Press "E" on the keyboard to toggle.
o You can also toggle by going to "Selection -> Drag -> Drag Edges".

After getting ready you can do a lot of things with this but it's most common use is making proper brush corners. This is important because there are no faces that are have hidden parts. The pictures below show right and wrong but there are some cases that it just doesn't matter. You should always see and do this when portaling a map.

2 Brushes
* Select each brush and modify the blue edge points accordingly to get a "smooth" corner
