How to remove cordon frame?

[Mapham]

It is very easy to mistakenly create 1x1 cordon frame, and it happened again. In my last map I just ignored this and created real skybox to compile my map in text phase, but I want to know how to remove cordon frame so I can compile my map with just cordon frame as skybox.

Let me google that for you: https://developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki/Hammer_Cordon_Usage#Toggle_Cordon_State

[Mapham]

That wiki does not guide how to actually remove cordon frame. And if there are more than one cordon frame, then the map does not compile if cordon state is toggled on. So I need to know how to remove additional cordon frames or I have to build real skybox.

There's a good thread about this issue here:

One guy says you can just select them and press delete, but if not there's a manual VMF edit you can make (real mappers use Notepad).

Was about to say. Get your notepad out and clean that badboy up.

I dunno if it's bugged, hence not working properly, but I read that "deactivating the cordon tool will compile the whole map", so i thought it could suit your use.

It took me a while to realize what engine were you guys talking about. Next time, please try and put at least "Source engine" on the thread name or something, this is not interlopers xD

On the right hand side in hammer there is a box called Visgroups. It has a Cordon-tab. Select cordons and delete them manually there.

Stretch the condom so it fits the entire map.
