why are you blaming tool?
it doesnt lie.
the errors are in your modelling skills.
so learn to model and dont blame other things for your errors.

just import the wrl file back into max.. it shows you exactly where the error is..

Calm down man. Getting rid of those problem triangles isn't as hard as it looks.

Sometimes you have to zoom way in on the vertices and edges, you'll be suprised to see what looks like one edge is really two edges really really close together. The same goes for vertices. You can check this by clicking and draging the cursor over tw faces or a verticie. In the info box it will either tell you "Verticie ### selected" or 2 or more egdes/verticies selected. If it says 2 or more verticies selected and it looks like only 1 should be or more faces selected than should be thats what is wrong.

But usually I just start deleting faces around where the WRL file import showed the problem to be. Then just start creating the faces over again.

If you absolutely cannot fix it I would be willing to help.

thx people , ive just fixed all the errors but i still have an error from my shaders and its not apearing in the HALO PC EDITING REFERENCE, so heres the eror:

### The model shader plate floor cannot be used in the environment.

the "plate floor" is a part of my multi\sub texture object, but i dont see anything wrong in it. does any1 knows what would be the problem??

Few things to try:

Get rid of the space in the name. Make it plate_floor or something.

I'll post more when I can think... It's 3:20 A.M. here... been playin UT2004 all night... what a great game.
