Things that should be added to the PTI editor
I have seen many things people would like to see in the PTI editor and I have made a list of the most important things.

Items
- Doors
- Crushers
- Glass with hole
- Rocket turrets
- Bombs
- Energy balls (from Portal 1)
- Signs (like arrows and numbers)
- Cameras

Switches
- Switch for faith plates
- Pressing one button to activate an object (if there are more buttons connected to an object)
- Delay buttons
- be able to change the path of lines

Other
- Different styles (old Aperture, modern Aperture, decayed Aperture, wheatley’s Aperture)
- Checkpoints
- changing smaller surfaces
- Oblique corners
- Co-op
- Maps must be tested before uploading
- A way to see which map you have completed
- Better map search system (for example: separate hammer and PTI search and random search)
- Bugs and glitches fixed


If there's anything that I have forgotten or that you would like to see please comment and I will add it to the list.

I got most of the things from there, but still thanks for the help. (i didn't take all the things from there because i think some are unnecessary, like customizable turrets and radio´s)
I have added the following things to the list:
- Oblique corners
- Better map search system (for example: separate hammer and PTI search and random search)
You forgot animated panels! Panels that move on their own, panels that form something like stairs, panels that can change the shape of a room, and panels that can activate by your presence.
That's a pretty cool list you have there :p

@Supreme Gamer "panels that can activate by your presence" already exists : pistons auto-activate when you walk on...
changing textures would be nice.
@geneosis Those are lifts. I'm talking about wall panels. I think they appeared in "Without Portal Gun: Turret Domino"

@protoborg: You mean like a different styles (old Aperture, modern Aperture, decayed Aperture)?

@Supreme Gamer: What exactly do you mean with panels? I didn't find anything panel like in "Without Portal Gun: Turret Domino".
Boxed Turrents, Reject Turrents might also be good from a storytelling perspective.

Also, maybe the possibilty of OR gates? Press one button, OR another to open a door. This allows the subject a choice (which may or may not impact on the test) allowing for greater replay-ability. Also, press one button to open a door, run through, press another on the other side to get back, and a multitude of other options could be made available.

The ability to place signs (I'm referring to the iconic "Cake" sign and the like) to better allow test-makers to communicate what buttons and the like do when indicator lights get too confusing, particularly in a tight space.

Bottomless pits and rails between chambers would be good (like the inside/bowels of Apeture)

All this being said Doors would be the thing I want the most.

These items don’t add to the puzzle solving and in my opinion aren’t as important as other things (like doors :p ).

What does OR stand for? (I had already added this to the list as "Pressing one button to activate an object (if there are more buttons connected to an object)")

Placing signs is a great idea. It would be nice to add arrows or numbers to help a test subject. (It would be awesome if they would hide the signs, and when you press a button (on the keyboard) that the signs will show up. This could be really handy when you’re stuck in a test chamber)

I have added this as wheatley’s Aperture by styles

For this I found a solution using only actual objects, see this map to know how to make all logical gates and timers ^^
As i probably said a lot before in other Discussions: if you use this the symbols don't match, which can confuse people. (Also, good map)

Franken turrets. You know, Wheatly's malformed turrets. <3
They can already be used in the PTI editor (the most upper right object).

Really? I never noticed them. Thanks!
Edit: I only see the franken cube; not the turrets.
You know, the defective turrets? Not sure what you want to call them.
