DispEd by

DispEd is a utility designed to be used with Valve's Hammer editor to allow various customisable geometric shapes to be created using Displacements for HL2 and CS:S maps in the style of the Patches of the Q3 engine. The built-in editor for displacements is great for editing terrain but not so good for precise shapes. DispEd is designed to address this issue by allowing the creation of -

2d Curves
Arches
Bevels
Triangles
Corners

Each shape is simply exported as a VMF Prefab ready to be used in your map. The size, arc etc. of each shape is customisable in the editor.

NB: DispEd requires the .NET Framework 1.1 available via Windoze Update. Use of DispEd is free provided credit to the author is given in any maps it is used for. I'd be interested to hear of any weird stuff produced using the app :>
