Simple question, how do you setup Hammer for CZ and basically for all other Half-Life 1 games? I ask this because I can't seem to see any other .fgd files for anything other than Source based games.
Someone said to download version 3.4 but it looks like it's basically the same as the one in Steam minus the Source options.

For mod's the fgd usually comes with the mod.
cz and cs both uses the same fgd (the one in my signature).
Hammer 4.0 was not meant to work with hl1 but here is what you need to do to get it working as best it can.
open
%sourcesdk%\bin\GameConfig.txt
(Start menu->run enter the line hit ok).
after the last game (before the 2 last "}" in the file) add this (replace <your_user_path_here> with your steam user path):
//-------------------------------------------
"Half-Life"//-------------------------------------------
{
"GameDir" "<your_user_path_here>\half-life\valve"
"hammer"
{
"GameData0" "$SteamUserDir\half-life\valve\fgd\halflife.fgd"
"TextureFormat" "2"
"MapFormat" "3"
"DefaultTextureScale" "0.5"
"DefaultSolidEntity" "func_wall"
"DefaultPointEntity" "info_player_start"
"MapDir" "$SteamUserDir\half-life\valve\mapsrc"
"CordonTexture" "BLACK"
}
}
"GameInfo"//-------------------------------------------
{
game "HALF-LIFE"
title "HALF-LIFE"
type singleplayer_and_multiplayer
FileSystem
{
SteamAppId 70
ToolsAppId 211 //Tools res.
SearchPaths
{
Game |gameinfo_path|.
Game hl2
}
}
}

Ok, so I used the Hammer 3.4 which has the .fgd files I need for Counter-Strike. Now on to the textures aspect. What wad files do I need for Condition Zero or Counter-Strike? I don't see a basic wad file in my Steam directories except for custom wad files unless tfc.wad and tfc2.wad aren't custom.

I just finished the guide on how to set up 4.0 for hl1 maps 
(look above).
When modeling for cz you don't need the decale.wad form hl, just extract all wad's from the cz gcf.
The last pure hl1 editor was 3.5, you can use my installer witch is also in my signature.

1 unit is 1 inch, though if you make a map to scale from the real world it will I'm told look weird because of some flaw or something in the engine.
Your image makes no sense to me, what are you trying to do?
Oh, and chatbear doesn't use html tags or bbscript but it's own tags. You can see them below the text box when you type or edit your message. If your image isnt small please create a link to it instead of using the image tag.

If you make a door the same size as in real world, you won't be able to walk threw it, and it will look disproportional. This is because of the fov and player size used in game.
The player is 72"x32"x32" in game, the hight is the average hight of a human mail in the us but he is peaty broad shouldered.

get 3.5 it renderes models in 3d view
and for your selection problem go to tools->options->3d view and change the state of "revers selection order".
