does the frame have to be an editible mesh?

Make a box (go to primitives and select box) and set it right next to your map. Name the box frame. Then, get the link button and link the map to the frame.

how do i check? (im a noob)

ok i figured it out it IS linked to frame but it dosent say so because when i move frame the level moves to

thats odd isnt it?

The levels are now connected to each other. Of course they will move simultaneously.

when i move LEVEL they dont mive simultaniusly


EDIT:im thinking of moving on to portal since im not smart enough to make map for ce

THe level is linked to the frame, so there for the frame is the parent of the level. that means that moving the frame will move the level too. the level however, is not the parent of the frame, so moving the level wont move the frame too.

Make sure after you link the level to the frame, you click on the select or select and move (or any selection tool) and then click the select by name button. Check the box that says "display subtree" and see if the word level is underneath the word frame, and level is indented to the right a bit.

no the word level is not under the word frame but when i move frame the level moves to

Well idk why the words aren't showing right, but they are obviously linked together, so it should be fine.

i think the name dont show is cuz (if there is a little arrow next to main name) the arrow is not clicked or double clicked
