Looks like an untextured... something.

Hope that helps....I didnt build anything there and I cant figure out what it is. I did put a piano in this building and somehow it ended up in the sky..lol. Anyways after I found it I deleted it and that didnt fix the problem. /stumped

looks like the infamous 'eternal brush' . if so, i've always found it easiest just to go back in the screenshots folder far enough to find a .map file that doesn't have whatever created the 'eternal brush' .

It is the same old ladder glich a long brush with too many points on an edge or surface . Probably caused by the railing or some other thing maybe not in the SS but I suspect it is the railing . You have to break it up into more brushes . It may even be the floor brush and the railing posts or both .

ok thanks for the help ill try removing the railing and see if thats it...is it possible its the stairs themselves? There are alot of steps.

If that wall beside the stairs is a single brush then it could also be the stairs . It's not so much the railing as all the posts . That many brushes touching a single brush causes the glich . Thats why I call it the ladder glich . In a ladder where the side rails of a long ladder are 1 brush each and you have a lot of rungs your going to get that glich for sure . Just making the side rails into several brushes fixes that glich . Here is a couple pictures of a map that I tried to make glich on purpose . One picture is in radiant the other in the game . It is just one brush for the bottom and several touching it . It would be easy to fix just by making the bottom brush into several brushes . In your case I would say it is the posts of the railling and maybe the stairs touching a single brush .

Thanks for all the help everyone, it turned out to be the stairs after all. I had one long brush that covered the bottom I broke it up into three and problem solved.
