Constructor surface limit

by Jaren Watkins · in Constructor · 01/23/2009 (12:32 pm) · 6 replies

I keep getting a error message from Torque Constructor when I try to export it says "Error, >256 surfaces on an interior hull" It might be cause I have some spiral stairs which are about 70 steps. If it's cause that then I guess i'll have to find away to build stairs another way.

Try copying and pasting the suspect brushes to another map and attempt to convert that individually.

Try using the search function ;)

The problem is caused by having too many structural brushes touching the one surface - you'll probably need to make your steps detail brushes.

Structural brushes help define zones. Typically, these are walls, floors, ceilings, etc. Everything else should be a detail. Detail brushes do not help defines zones, or split other polygons. You should set all brushes that do not define the zones as details.

They shouldn't go through them. Which version of Constructor are you using?
