More infos?
Specifically when I pull up hammer sometimes, the entire SDK will crash.
Also troubles with the skybox sometimes, when i make it unsolid, a fatal error occurs.

World geometry must be solids.

Launch Hammer, Map>New, File>Save, map name (no space in the name or punctuation except the underscore).

On the top left view, where it is your 3D View, press where it says Camera and select 3D Textured.

Created your brushes in the top, side and front views depending on what you wanna do.

To create a prop that is obviously static, it's prop_static.

To create a prop that can animate, take a prop_dynamic.

To create that the player can obviously interact with, it's a prop_physics.

If, when you placed your prop, it doesn't appear in your game, you most likely tied the prop to a wrong entity.

I was messing around with SDK Base 2013 and noticed props are not purplish in 2D views with it and it appears to work fine.

To use Hammer with it, you go to ...\SteamApps\common\Source SDK Base 2013 Multiplayer\bin\hammer.exe

Be sure to check the parameters and change the BSP LOCATION!

If you map for single player, it's:

...\SteamApps\common\Source SDK Base 2013 Singleplayer\bin\hammer.exe

Even though this isn't related to Source SDK, every time I launch a mod based on the 2013 engine, the lighting fucks up, my movement and jumping slows down almost as I'm in slow mo; and when I pause unpause the game quickly, the slow mo goes off then Right back on. I've tried reinstalling the 2013 engines, all the hl2 games affected by this, and have no custom content.

I can show you a demo or avi tomorrow if you need.

Add -nocubemap to VBSP compiler so it doesn't cause any problems when you'll build your cubemaps.
