# What are they?⤶
The Cordon tool is used in hammer for working on larger maps in chunks. Cordons allow you to put a box around sections of your map and toggle them between enabled and disabled.⤶
⤶
Mappers can use this in many ways but some of the most popular is to use them to limit what your editor can see to only the section of map you want to work on. This can help by reducing distraction in other sections of the map, but can also allow you to compile small sections of your map for quicker testing.⤶
