Hello, i have been fixing my level for a while now, but when everything seems good, and fixed, i try compiling it, and get this random error! im like... :/

Here's what tool says:
D:\Program Files\Microsoft Games\Halo Custom Edition>tool structure levels\big_c
anyon big_canyon
Couldn't read map file './toolbeta.map'
building intermediate geometry...
building collision geometry...
reducing collision geometry...
building collision bsp...
### WARNING found possible T-junction (pink).
### WARNING found possible T-junction (pink).
### ERROR couldn't build bsp because of overlapping surfaces (orange).
### ERROR couldn't build bsp2d.
### ERROR couldn't build leaf.
### WARNING found nearly coplanar surfaces (red and green).
### ERROR failed to import collision bsp.

All though it says overlapping faces, i dont see any in the model.

Here's what it looks like in max


All help is appreciated. Please help me out, and future mapmakers: use this as a learning tool. Thank you.

It means you have overlapping surfaces everywhere it shows. Probably bad triangulation.

Alright. I'll recreate all the surfaces later then. Thanks. :)

Since it looks like you already imported the .wrl, you can just look for the orange faces, and that willl show you where your overlapping faces are.
E: Try hiding your actual geometry and looking from all angles to find the orange faces.

Yeah the only bit of those errors that stop your map from building is the overlapping error "orange".

Usually I find the error depending on what way the mesh is made and what it is by going to face selection mode and checking ignore back facing and selecting,then if a face is selected check to see if it's correct then remove.
