ok, so ive heard people say that when you attach a base or something to your level in gmax/3dsmax that you are supposed to delete the faces underneath it. well im a little confused on this. first off when they say "delete the faces underneath" does it mean to delete the faces on the level, or on the bottom of the base? and what if the base doesnt cover the whole face? wont it look stupid with a whole face missing? i just wanted to check if this was true, because in the tutorial that came with hek, i didnt see anything about deleting faces when attaching a base.

i know this sounds kind of stupid coming from me, but ive never actually made a map with attached stuff. so any help is much appreciated, and thank you in advance.

ok, thank you. but how exactly do i make new faces?

make more polys... polys = faces

Go to polygon, create, then click on the verts you want to connect to make the face, I think...

it should be the same idea for 3ds and gmax but still... poly= face

just click on each verticies, make a triangle or box... WOW I JUST LEARNED THIS 2 MIN. AGO!!!

thanks guys! i told you it was stupid question.

its ok corndogman... its ok... dont worry...

im just gonna go sit quietly on a corner now....

why not in a tiny box (taped shut) in a corner of a closet?

last time i did that i got mailed to china. there chineese food sucks there!

thanks a lot guys, this helps a lot. im not gonna say a whole lot now, but im working on a map. its nothing too complicated but it should be fun. its gonna be 2+ weeks before its done, because im gonna be outta town. when i get back though i'll be gettting to work. i'll say a little bit though, its a snowy map, with some interesting sniper spots and fun CTF, and race gametypes. i havent decided on a name but im thinking about "drain" and youll see why.
