The '''TeamSpec Level Editor''' is the program you build TeamSpec maps in. You block out the level with brushes, dress it with props, materials, terrain, water and lights, place spawns, pickups, doors and logic, write the map's gamemode, try it in the game, and export it as a file TeamSpec loads.

This wiki covers every tool, menu, panel and setting in the editor. If you are new, read the pages under '''Start here''' in order.

== Start here ==

# [[Level Editor/Viewport and camera|Viewport and camera]]: flying around, the four views, and the 2D views.
# [[Level Editor/Selecting and hiding|Selecting and hiding]]: picking things, hiding them, and moving them with the ghost.
# [[Level Editor/Workflows/Your first map|Your first map]]: a walkthrough from an empty map to playing it.
