Hammer start question.

[tank40175]

When I start up hammer, and I don't get the 4 panels when starting new map. How do I get all these up? I would like to start mapping but just this roadblock right now, not having all views to make things.

How do you open your hammer editor?
Do you use a desktop shortcut?
If so you might not get the 4 panels
Open it by using the Source SDK and choosing Hammer Editor
It should load with them on
If not tell me and I'll help you out

[Svendy]

did you select "New" under Files?

I open with SDK, but figured it out. THX Guys
