************ ERROR ************
Entity 0, Brush 214: MAX_BUILD_SIDES

When I try to compile my map I get this error… my map is small (for now)… its just a submarine and I dont understand why I’m getting this…

When I delete brush 214 then the problem is with the 213… and so on…

I’m getting this error on 6sided or more sided brush, so I think that it inst the number of brush sides the reason.
:bored:
any suggestions?

*sry for bad english

Q. MAX_BUILD_SIDES
A.Usually means you have a really complicated complex brush in your map, thats not allowed! you need to make it less complex!

Have you used CSG Hollow or Subtract?
May be you can find it if you open your map file with a text editor (before you do this you should make a copy of your map file).
It must be a brush with many lines.

Edit:

Another info I’ve found with google:
