I get this lovely number while doing tool structure levels for a certain map.

Already did, all I can see is the degenrate triangle errors.

How many polys in the map. I got this when trying to export a map with like 30000 once... had to cut the BSP into 2 separate pieces to fix it.

Are you compiling this over an existing bsp?
Are there any "odd" (donut, sphere, etc) shapes in your geometry?
Have you tried using a different exporter (ex : Bluestreak)?
Have you tried changing around your shaders? (Many a time I've had evil errors due to shaders.)
Is your model in editable mesh mode? (Tool can occasionally spit out editable polies.)

like mmfsdjw said, Did you fix those errors? just remodel those degenerate triangles and try again...then tell us what happened.

I just fixed it, it turns out some of my edges were a bit too tiny. I made them bigger...and all my degenrates were gone(cept 1).
anyways :lock: thanks for the help guys
