Did you try the HEK_tutorial HEK comes with? It tells you what all errors mean. Also before posting a question make sure you do some research first.

alright, i fixed a few stuff and then i got more errors... i combined some objects because i wanted them to be one thing and now i got an error that says "### ERROR couldn't update edge # (red)." i already have checked the error and i just dont know how to fix it. If someone could help me or they could fix it for me, the help would be apprietiated

The faces have shared vertices and\or faces. The objects should either be separated or merged.

A good example would be 2 identical cubes that have been moved together such that they each share one side. The cubes should either be moved apart, or merged together which would include the removal of any duplicate or illegal faces.

Also, you should have seen this, it was in the link I sent you.

i said i have already looked at that. the thing is though is that i created polygons to attach some things together and then it gave me this message and the errors were where i attached the two objects with polygons.

try extracting with Blue Streak, often times Chimp will pick up errors that are non-exsitant.

i have been using bluestreak... this sucks. I think i know what caused it though. its kinda hard to explain but, here is what i did. for example, i had like a box and then i tried to make a polygon connected to it withought deleting the bottom of the box's polygons
