What's wrong with this prefab?

Every time I try to add it to my level, it screws it up beyond recocgnition. When I try to deintersect it (even if nothing else touches it) it creates a series of polygons that reach other parts of the level... what the heck is wrong with it?

sh*tty prefab. that's why.

Try making it semi-solid and re-building. If that doesn't work, try moving it slightly and rebuilding. You can't always predict how the Editor will partition up space around an object.

Where did this pre-fab come from? Did you build it in UnrealEd or did you import it from another format?

Aha! I knew it. Pesky triangles! images/icons/smile.gif

Create a simple map with a build box. Import the prefab and Add it into your build box. Rebuild.

Surround the prefab with a cubical build brush and Interect it with the pre-fab. You resulting build brush will be MUCH simpler because all those pesky co-planar triangles will get merged together. Use THIS newly-created build brush in your other map (not the original pre-fab.)
