next time it belongs in the editing and coding section though, just as a future reminder.

I'm currently working on the same thing EnderDragon... And that is NOT the answer. that simply increases or decreases the resolution of the snap grid. That does NOT change the scale of the map at all.

Try looking in the base.fgd file for where the maximum map size is set. Should defalt to -16xxx to 16xxx. Try changing that to larger number. Be careful though, I've had problems getting maps to compile at larger sizes... Which I think actually has to do with the size of the brushes I'm using. If a brush is larger that what the compile tools can handle, then they automatically fail.

When I get home tonight, I'm going to experiment with making larger test maps with lots of smaller brushes for terrain.
