Things you'll need

You will need the following programs:

Portal 2 with developer console activated.
Portal 2 Authoring Tools Beta (free from the tools section)

Enabling the developer console

If you have not yet enabled the developer console on your copy of portal 2, that's how it's done:

1. Go to keyboard settings.
2. Choose Enable Developer Console.

From now on, the developer console shall open when pressing the key ` .

Exporting

Now, from the game's main menu go to Community Test Chambers. Select the test chamber you want to export and press ` to open the developer's console. From the prompt that opens, enter the following command:

puzzlemaker_export [name]

Where in place of [name] enter the name of your map. Note that if your map's name contains spaces, it won't work. Portal 2 will create a file which will be placed at [steamapps]common/Portal2/sdk_content/maps , which can be opened with the hammer editor.
