System materials with a special behavior. Used widely on all maps.

Common materials are system textures with a special behavior assigned to them.

A system material designed to 'caulk' or seal a map. In-game, it is a transparent solid texture. It is best applied to all surfaces which a player will be unable to see while in-game. This texture generate no draw surfaces.
 
+
Caulk will block [[VIS]], so it can seal you map from a void.
+
{{tip|When you build a [[BModel|brush entity]], mark all the brush sides that you will never see with caulk. Otherwise, the game draws every one of them. Also look around your map for brush faces that you suspect are being drawn, but are never seen: door pockets, bars, underneath bridges or very low railings and so on. It may sound like work, but attention to detail like this buys you both the appearance of greater geometric detail in the map AND faster game running speed.}}

Player clip is often useful for "smoothing" out the geometry of the map, preventing the player from snagging on objects.

Normally brush entities have no origin. Center of brush covered by this textures will set origin of it's parent [[BModel]]. This origin is used for movement (path spots) and rotation.

Invisible material. Brush marked with this texture will create a portal in visibility tree. Rarely used on the places where general portal creation algorithm was failed to generate a proper vis portals, which caused a game slowdown. See [[Darkplaces_material_system#surfaceparm hint | surfaceparm hint]].
