Firma's not a modeller. Though there are much better options, if all you want is simple segment editing for noobs might I suggest sketchup(free)?? If you can get it working straight(exporting wise) Other than that it is EXTREMELY simple to use.
note: you'll need a .x exporter though, check the community guide for tutorials on this

Look for me on CoD4 online for PC. My username's Arbiquator (strange I know but it's the first thing that came to mind)

One very simple word: Milkshape.

I've been using it for a long time, I actually payed for the full version too. It's only about $30, but it's WELL worth it.

You can also use the not-so-user-friendly Anim8or.

Just make a box thats 10 units tall, and 10 units wide, and 1 unit thick. export as an .X file (Retained mode).

UV map it, and texture the model, and just use Segment Editor to make it FPSC ready.

See attachment.

Try these out as well. http://forum.thegamecreators.com/?m=forum_view&t=131537&b=24

Thanks cosmic it works but i don't want these boring flat walls i can import them from from the mesh folder...

I've made a nice looking complex wall in GoogleSketch exported to MilkShape & exported again to FPSC & it still doesn't work properly but the walls i create in Milkshape are working why?!

This is usualy because using multiple exports tends to make model react in different ways. Each export leaves its own mark on the model and these can be read in different ways by different programs. Its best to learn how to model in milkshape and export from there. A tried and tested route that many users on these forums use. There are pleanty of tutorials around and even some on my site! Hope this helps!
