Infinite Brush?

Post by Cheetohs »

Here's the problem, sometimes when i CSI subtract a brush(s) it will 'spawn' or create its own brush that juts out of where i had just CSI subtracted and Continue on for the entire grid plane. I can't click on it either, i do not know why but whenever i try, it doesnt highlight :( .

The one thing i noticed on these brushes on how to 'delete' them is by clicking on brushes near this infinite brush, but this can be a tedious process finding where to click so i can delete this unwanted brush!!!

is there any (shorter?) way of deleting these?

Yeah, there's a plugin available that will delete evil polys and duplicate planes that should be useful. If you want it, I'll email it to you.

And as a general rule of thumb, don't ever use CSG subtrtact, because it only causes problems. It's always better to just create what you want with individual brushes.

OK thanx, im on AIM and MSN right now, (addys in profile) so you can send if you are on and if you want...

:( I don't like taking so much time on creating every piece individually :P i know.. i know.. its not a good thing but im impatient! :evil: . For instance, making hollowed round pipes... it'd get me burnt out if i tried making every piece.

thanx :P

That's what I meant- using it too much will ultimately cause problems. Once or twice shouldn't hurt anything.
