What is polygon slicing ? Read it in a previous post where one recommended keeping the limit down ?

Second, I am finding it extremely frustrating placing lights or entities within corridors, getting the light inside in the right place, any suggestions ?

hehe I am sure it is yeah, have to investigate the slicing part, hmmm

As for putting a ceiling on, I am talking about the corridor prefabs, can you remove ceilings off them ?

Sorry for these stupid questions. I went through the manual, but some things are still fuzzy

Pressing the TAB key wil activate different viewing modes, one of which clips the top half of corridors, enabling easy access.

Yeah, I'd love to see a first person edit mode, like you can run around and place entities and move them exactly into position .

I think maybe polygon slicing is to do with pairing up the walls, like there's always 2 faces touching, and often they're not visible, so getting rid of the extra detail would improve performance. Not too sure how FPSC handles it's caulking though.

Gotta love the window tool though, the way it cut's through the walls is a touch of class .
