template

is there anyway to import a template, like a floorplan into Radiant?

there is a method of this… it is widely used in maps that need very carfult layour like goldrush where if one building was the wrong size it would be disasterous, also for team porjects it lets peaple see where they they are building and stops 2 people using the same space

you have to create a custom texture of a floor plan then import it to radient and stretch the texture across a large flat brush across the floor, this lets you see when things should go

a good example of this is the doom3 can do it too project where lots of mappers used a arial photograph os london so when they all built separate buldings they were near enough fit together and they were all build to the same scale as well

You can also use the background image plugin :moo:

edit:
slightly out of date readme: http://www.cyberonic.net/~gdevault/rfm/mapstuff/readme_bkgrnd2d-b0.25.txt

If you are using gtkradiant 1.4, you can ignore the bits about installation, as it comes installed with radiant.
