Level Design With Hammer
Prior to the release of the Source engine, the only construction blocks in Hammer were a set of simple primitives called brushes. These can still be used in older GoldSrc games, however, some features of version 4 and above, such as displacement maps, are not compatible with GoldSrc. Many level designers who work with both Source and GoldSrc games usually keep an install of 3.5 to avoid using unsupported features in a GoldSrc game.
