I created a level using the TR5 VCI Textures. I also edited the City WAD to make good objects. I created a elevator shaft and I wanted to make Lara climb on one side. I selected the sector and used the climb button. In the editor the place where you must climb is green, but in the game Lara won't climb up! I tried this on some more levels but Lara never can climb the wall. What am I doing wrong?

if the room is a stacked room you have to click the portal in the plan view until it is red then click the climb button on the side where you want her to climb then in plan view again select the floor in the top room next to the portal on the side that she will climb onto and click the climb button for that side hope that helps

Climbing walls are a bit tricky as you shouldn't assign the climbing function to the wall itself but to the square facing it, ie, to the square where Lara stands before climbing!
Actually, Lara doesn't climb the wall but she climbs the inner panel of the column she is in.
So, to be clear, select the square that Lara is supposed to stand on before climbing and apply the climbing button corresponding to the side of the contiguous column she wants to climb...

Er... was that actually clear? Hope that helps...

I forgot... By doing what I just said, you will notice that the wall Lara wants to climb is not dark green but the square before it and where Lara is supposed to stand is... That the way it should be!

Make sure you have the revised wads as Lara does some strange things when climbing or using monkey bars without them.
