Hey everyone! Today I'm going to show you how to view point files in 3D view using Hammer for your mapping and level design projects. It's super important to be able to visualize your point files in 3D to ensure that everything looks and functions as intended. Here's how to do it:

Step 1: Open your mapping project in Hammer. If you haven't already created a point file, you can do so by placing an info_target entity in your level.

Step 2: Once you have your point file in place, go to the top menu and click on 'Map' and then select 'Load Pointfile'.

Step 3: Browse and select the point file you want to view. This will create a line in your 2D views connecting the entity to its target.

Step 4: Now, to view the point file in 3D, go to the '3D' tab in Hammer. You should now see the point file line in your 3D view, helping you understand its positioning and connections better.

Step 5: You can further adjust your point file as needed based on what you see in the 3D view, ensuring that it aligns with your level design and serves its intended purpose.

And that's it! You've successfully learned how to view point files in 3D view in Hammer. This will greatly help you in ensuring that your mapping and level design projects are accurate and functional. So go ahead and give it a try in your own projects, and take your mapping skills to the next level! Happy mapping!
