howdy Myrrdin,
Textures not showing up. I still have trouble figuring this out, to be honest.
The alternate views from X Y And Z coordinate planes.
Open GTK
Click on Edit
Click on Preferences
Click on Interface
Select the Layout you would prefer to manipulate with.
Although you can use CTRL+TAB to change the view in a single view.
As for actual map making... its not as easy as I first thought.. to be honest. my maps look like... .. blocks with holes in them... I need alot more practice to be honest before I could make anything that LOOKS neat.
On the other hand, I can draw out what I want, in multiple X Y and Z views, even Isometric... in PEN, but as for getting it into the computer. Thats where I need help....
Respectfully,
H0Z3R
