Let's keep going with constructing our room. To make another wall, let's '''Duplicate''' the wall we already have by selecting it, and pressing '''Ctrl-D'''. Now position it on the opposite edge of our floor. Let's also make a ceiling, so select the floor, and duplicate it as well. Now, we need our brush to '''Move Vertically''', and for that, we '''Hold down Alt''' whilst moving our brush, notice your cursor changes to 2 arrows pointing up and down. Let's give this a nice ceiling texture, I am using ''city5_3''. | Let's keep going with constructing our room.

Again, make sure all of our brushes have their edges aligned so our room is sealed. For our simple room this is not the end of the world if they are not, but it is good habit to get started with and will be required on larger, more complex maps to ensure they do not [[leak]]. Leaks occur when your brushes don't form a complete seal around the playable world, and prevent the compiling process Vis from running. | Again, make sure all of our brushes have their edges aligned so our room is sealed.
