Alright, I feel like a complete moron for having to post this, but I can't figure out how to get out of the first room of Chamber 3. I press the button, cube falls down, Portal opens, and...nothing. I don't see any way out.

answer for cyk:
If its where I'm thinking of then there's some glass wall where you can see into the next room.
There is a ledge on the glass wall. Examine that ledge.

I examined the whole first room inch by inch. The only possibility I can see is the narrow ledge to the left of the orange-portal-countdown-timer that looks like a grate rather than glass. I still can't figure out a way to shoot a portal through it, much less shoot a portal through it that won't hit the fizzler.

Maybe I'm missing something totally, ahem, logical, and it will seem obvious after it's pointed out. I hope that's the case. However, I fear that this puzzle requires some particular placement of the blue portal, which you then use to tunnel to the next room. ...if that is the case, then I'm pretty much done with this map.

Anyone care to spill the secret? No more hints. Being stuck in one small room is just not entertaining. At all. Ever.

Very, very cool effect with the floating cube machine, though.

If I remember right, you are on the right track, but the trick is

You can portal on top of a nearby ledge, and then jump over onto the 2-inch top of the sign with the numbers on it and walk over to the grate. Even funnier you can leap over and land on the tip-top of one of those two edges that borders the fixed-position portal, and then jump up onto the sign. And all the while, if you look down, you are walking in mid-air.

Call me picky, but that was cheap-trick puzzle; the kind I hate most. I play the game to portal, not levitate. Once you get past that and get to the rest of the puzzles, its decently challenging and fun (if you like timed puzzles).

Wow, I didn't do that part that way...

I had no idea that there were ledges up there you could stand on, so I shot blue in the ceiling and made a very tricky mid-air shot through the grate while falling. I had to place blue in just the right area at a certain angle so that I'd have a chance of hitting the floor and not the fizzler. It took many tries and I had just about given up when trying with careful aim, and just sort of did a "what the hell" random-type attempt and that's when it went in :).

I didn't finish the rest though.

Here's the simplest way to pass the room:

A thing that pisses me off into unrecognition is the "developer maps" thumbnails. They're useless for the user and the only purpose they could serve is showing off how developer you are.

I don't know how you make a map, but how I usually do is that if I get a good idea I can use in my map, I make it in my map and save it there for later use. I don't go create a seperate map. (Unless of course you have a shit PC and it takes forever to load) It's like, 2 out of 6 icons are usable? Why the hell would I want my map selection cluttered up with maps I can't play?

Release properly, not some "oh, look at me, I'm a developer" shitbreak release.
