Overview
Simple, but important.In this breif and easy guide I will teach you how to hide an observation deck within a level, so it is no longer visible without noclip.
Introduction
Alright
As you may know, in the Portal 2 Level Editor, it is mandatory to require a observation deck in your level. This can be somewhat stupid, because in small levels in provides to much light on some surfaces. Here is a simple trick to hide observation decks out of the map! (And when I say simple, I mean this is child’s play…)
Tutorial
Extrude the wall inwards which the deck is mounted.
Rotate the camera, duh… and then cover over the hole in the wall!
Thats it! Please rate up if it helps! (And remember to include light strips, dont want it to be too dark!

I understand some of you feel that Hammer.exe is much better than the ingame editor, but I directed this tutorial too people just starting out with map making.
