I just tried to compile my first building for the Torque/V12 SDK, but WorldCraft gave me this error:
Any ideas what this means?

I suspect this error is caused by long thin slivers. Basically there is a brush (or a leftover from some subtraction) that is long and thin. The map tool is trying to compute a plane equation for the polygons on this brush, but it's essentially degenerated into a line. It wouldn't have to be large, just long and thin.

Thanks for that. I managed to track the problem down to a set of brushes I used to create a high poly count rounded window. I just deleted those brushes and the map compiled without any problems. Assuming that the image code is now working, here's a screenshot of the window:In case it doesn't work, here's the URL for the pic: www.dialogos-chat.com/uploads/Window01.jpg
