Description
You're asked to go to the next Test Chamber, but in order to get there, you'll have to traverse through an old abandoned office building.

Due to it being abandoned, most doors are closed and only a few can be opened by solving a small puzzle. You'll need to restore power to make things work, but be careful, the basement seem to have been flooded.

Difficulty between 6/10 and 7/10. Although the puzzles are by far easy, most have a few different ways to solve them. Also, as you progress, you'll learn the level. If you forget something, you may get into a situation where you have to start over. For that reason, use F6 to quicksave, F7 to quickload. I have not added savepoints because it can screw up to a point where you are forced to retake several steps.

During the puzzle, you are always able to go back to the starting area and perform some puzzles again without completely redoing everything. Think about this when you think about restarting the puzzle.

First video: it's an alternate but accepted solution. I designed it that you use the angled panel and shoot yourself and the cube out, then place it on the button first time. Second time, you have a portal on the floor near the door, and one below you in the adjacent room, then in a constant fling, you replace the cube one by one. In the last part, you cheesed a bit by going on top of the angled panel. But it's quicker that way than redoing a few portals, so I accept that solution. You don't really skip anything.

My video's had the wrong name, sorry about that - should be corrected now.

And to check the rest: intended solution ? If the method of opening the first door is as you intended, I have to thank @jandlml as I’d tried that method before and failed, but they said that is the way they did it, so I went back and tried again.

Is this your intended method for that bit?

Thanks

Nope, mechanics work as intended. That is not the way to do it.

Is this meant to work, or am I doing something wrong ?

Devilishly hard. The last part with finding a proper place to gain momentum for the cube was probably the most difficult one. It took me really long time to figure it out. I actually did a few things differently than you in in your official video which I found later. I actually thought I need to use the laser cube drop to activate the laser button, so in order to destroy the laser cube, I had to travel by bunny hopping to the switch with portals. Didn't used the ramp and the regular cube, I used the height difference in between the first room and the one with the fake corridor. Then I recreated the whole first part of the map again. . I took me quite a while to place fling the laser cube to touch the button and activate the funnel, at the beginning. In your video it happens on the first try, I needed at least ten or twenty . I'm wondering if this is just your luck, or my lack of luck.
Amazing map with a great usage of the self switching switches
