Class HammerEntityVisuals
Namespace: ValveResourceFormat.Renderer.Editor.Entities
Assembly: Renderer.dll
Draws entities the way Hammer shows them, from what their Hammer classes declare: the model, sprite or coloured box an entity is placed as, the helper lines its class draws to the entities it names, and a line along each of its entity I/O connections. None of it is what the game shows.
