i understand that you have to run an stl check... but how do you do that? where is the button?

an "STL check" is in the same modifier click box as "edit mesh" and "uvw map"
make sure you select your whole level before doing that

once you have no more errors in the STL check, export and run tool again.

if you still get errors, theres a file called <yourmapname).wrl

import that on top of your map in 3ds (unclick all the import options)

anywhere where the new imported object is, there is a problem with your map

Good luck!
