(I am assuming that if you are using this guide you have already configured Hammer to work for empires)

1. Ok to start with load up the source SDK and open Hammer. upon loding your screen should look like this...

2. select 'file' at the top left and go to 'new' the screen should now look like this...

3. now select the block tool at the left hand side

4. move your mouse to the 2D top view (the top left view) and scroll in and out a bit and move around using you arrow keys, when you are satisfyed that you can move around in this view drag a square using the block tool make it about 4096.0 by 4096.0 then press return on your keyboard to confirm. After you have done this the box should appear in the 3D view (top left view) but thanks to a new update from steam you cant unless you click the camera tool and then click on a 2D view then scroll out in the 3D view.

5. After you have done this the box should appear in the 3D view (top left view) but thanks to a new update from steam you cant unless you click the camera tool and then click on a 2D view then scroll out in the 3D view.

6. the next thing to do is to get used to moving around in the 3D view, its much like being a spectator on empires or counterstrike source whereby you use the W.S.A.D keyboard keys to move around.

7. Once you are used to that we shall beguin setting up the barraks, first click the entity tool.
