When you were talking about sealing the gap in the floor trim you said there are 2 ways you can do it. Is the other way using the Cap Selection tool?

Yes, sorry I meant to explain that as well in the video but forgot. You can of course select the bevel, hit shift+C and choose inverted bevel. When you've got the bevel caps, grab one and put it into the gap.

Awersome tutorial man, realy helpedd me a lot. As for the inverted bevel i notice when you do so it creates 3 different patches. I think your method you showed in the video is better and i will use it now.

All zht i need now to go further in my mapping is texture tutorial. Ty again for the time you put to share your knowledge with us.

Glad the video helped you!
Regarding textures, do you mean making and modifying existing textures or just texturing techniques in radiant?

Textures technics. I have a hard time with it, my textures are all stretched or not aligned. I would like to make them all aligned on multiple brushes stuff like my "Landing Crane". I also have a hard time understanding texture size atm, they look all very low resolution or something.

quick question, best way to create a bow/arch, clipping tool or endcap?

[cityy]

You'd use an endcap in most cases.
