Radiant has five main sections by default, as numbered in the screenshot below.

This area allows you to view the map straight on from a certain axis.

This is useful for aligning things flush with walls or other surfaces and for finer movement/scaling control. Numbers on the top and left edges mark distances on the grid, to help in the placement and measurement of objects or in the creation of symmetric structures. -p. This is a basic render of approximately how your map will look. It does not render lighting or anything like that, but it does render the textures as you will see them in game. +h3. _Fig. 2_ - 3D View -h3. Texture View +Provides a basic 3D render of how your finished map will look. It does not render lighting or special effects, but it does render the textures and geometry as you will see them in-game. Some vital information (e.g. primitive count, transformations, etc.) are displayed in the bottom left-hand corner of the viewport. -p. This section will show you all available texture sets in the left side and the members of that texture set on the right. +h3. _Fig. 3_ - Texture View -h3. Console +Lets you browse and manage your map's texture sets. Scroll through the list on left-hand panel and select a texture set to see thumbnails of its contents in the open space to the right. -p. This is a moderated version of the console output of radiant if run from a console. It outputs the status of your map's build process and display various information. Generally, the output in your system's console will be more complete and verbose, particularly during compile time. +h3. _Fig. 4_ - Console -h3. Tools +This is a short, moderated version of the console output of Radiant's console output. It displays the status of the map's build progress and various OpenGL information. Generally, the output from your native system's console may be much more complete and verbose than the in-editor one, particularly during compile time. -p. This area contains all of the necessary tools and actions that you can use on your map, such as opening and saving existing maps, selecting meshes, rotating objects, flipping objects on an axis, etc. +h3. _Fig. 5_ - Tools + +The standard toolbar. Contains all of the necessary tools and actions that you can use on your map, such as opening and saving existing maps, selecting meshes, rotating objects, flipping objects on an axis, etc. To see what an icon means, hover your cursor over the item and the tool's name and a brief description should appear on the bottom left-hand corner of the window in the status bar. -- 2.39.2
