Textures in the hammer engine

[Apollomon]

Im having a problem with my hammer engine...
I can apply a texture to my designed level or object, but in the editor they are not apparent. I cannot see any textures- all i can see is the black background still...

but when i load it in half life 2 the textures are applied...so i think it is just a setting that needs to be changed, but what?

Also, is it possible to do shapes that are not a cube? like a cylinder or something?

right click on 3D window and change from wireframe to fully textured

if you want to make cylinders, arches etc look down near the bottom of the bar at right of your screen, you'll see a dropdown menu that says block. just select the brush tool then change that to arch or cylinder or spike or whatever you want
