Picture a rectangular prism; at any given edge, you have two faces, like so, sharing an edge: _____ \| \| But what's this? A third face butted in, sharing that edge: _____ \|\ \| \ <---fix this Halo can only handle two faces per edge. Any tag-along faces need to be deleted and remade elsewhere. These errors commonly occur when you make, say, a small tunnel and put a face in front to prevent the player from accessing it, i.e. the tunnel is for design purposes only. Well now you have an issue: you have the floor on the outside of the tunnel, the floor on the inside of the tunnel, AND the tunnel guard (the face denying player access) all sharing one edge, like so: _____\|_____________ The vertical face must be either moved (but that's not what you want in this case, as it would result in open edges, or other errors depending upon how you decide to maintain the tunnel's seal), OR you select all the inaccessible faces (those comprising the tunnel) and set their material IDs to a non-collidable ID, i.e. add '!' to said ID's name. The '!' is a shader symbol recognized by Halo that instructs it to render any geometry with that symbol as render-only. Thus, when you compile your map in tool, that geometry will only be processed for rendering. When it builds the collision BSP, it will not look at any faces with a material that has '!' in its name. Selecting all vertices and welding to a low threshold may solve your problems, but it is not guaranteed to work. Welding typically solves open edge errors. Update edge errors are different, and the methods I listed above can be used to correct them. Of course, those are not the only methods available. Edited by CAG Gonzo on Nov 17, 2011 at 12:57 PM

This is most likely the problem. You will still have errors after though. Or maybe you did something wrong in the model, in which case you will just have to start fixing.
