Selecting all faces with certain texture

[TNR360]

I've done this a few times by accident (not knowing how) but does anyone know how I can select all brush faces that have X texture?

[Flippy]

If i remember correctly it's like this:

- Select ONE face (not brush!) of the texture you want to select all brushes from.
- Press Ctrl + A

Then all brushes (not faces!) that have the selected texture on one or more faces will be selected.

So actually, you're not selecting all brush faces, but all brushes, even if they have a different texture on the other side for example...

Theres a replace texture function, that may be what your after.

Another usefull thing you can do after what Flippy said, is
ctrl + i = invert selection (if I remember correctly)
h = hide

Then every brush that doesn't have that texture disappears. Great for hunting sv_setbrushmodel: null, just do it to hide everything but origin brushes and your usually off to a good start.

embarrasing question:

this always annoyed me... how do I get the brush to stop being hidden?

thanks everyone

Shift h to unhide the brush.
