If you're creating a lot of displacements, Nem's Terrain Generator is a better option than Hammer. Nemesis.thewavelength.net

Nah it's just that site, for some reason it likes to go down seemingly on random. But it's up after a while again.

I'd like to see prop placement and the different things you can do with it.

Perhaps creating a proper ladder?

You mean a tutorial on the different prop types?
A ladder tutorial is a good idea, it's added to the list, thanks!
