 You should aim to create a floor roughly the same size as the example. Because you're working with the 8 grid you should work with walls/floors/ceilings 2 blocks (16 units) thick.

 When radiant first loads it uses (by default) a "texture" called no-draw. It is possible to change this.
-When constructing your map it is generally better to work with caulk. Caulk is a common [[What is a shader|shader]] that is considered special. All non-visible areas of your map should use caulk. For this reason it's best to make all brushes using caulk and then, '''texture only what will be seen'''.

 Before you begin any mapping project you should choose a name for the project and create an empty folder in your textures folder with that name. For the purpose of this tutorial our map is called '''myfirstmap''', it's short and snappy and easy to remember.
