How do you make brushes smaller than they square thing they snap to on the grid? i don't know how to get a screenshot (if anyone knows that could you please tell?), but they are about half as high as you and pretty wide (in-game). is it possible to get them smaller than this?

Well, click on the brush, and there will appear handles around it, click it and drag it to ur desire shape, and you can use this for image hosting http://www.imageshack.us/

I think his problem was resizing brushes to anything more accurate than the grid. Well the simple answer is to change the size of your grid. I recommend you NEVER EVER EVER turn off snap to grid, but instead just resize the grid to whatever size you need. You can do this with [ and ] on your keyboard, or by pressing the resize grid buttons on the hammer interface.

You can make brushes have fractional dimensions (e.g. 32.5) by selecting other 'dummy' solids with them, and resizing them. It won't cause any problems whatsoever, unless the volume of the brush is less than 1.

Alt + PrintScreen takes a screen shot of the active program, not the entire screen.

Yes, use the [ and ] buttond. [ makes grid smaller, ] makes grid bigger.
