Well as far as what cogman suggested.. I can't seem to cut a sector horizontally, only vertically. As far as Stealth's idea, that one's great, and I had even thought of it, but its much too complex to do when you might want 1 or two buildings, or more. Then I tried another thing, I tried cutting a surface and extruding it into my sector but unfortunatly jed only extrudes outward, no matter how you are viewing the sector (which angle you are viewing it from.)
If anyone knows if there will ever be a time that jed will support making sectors within sectors please let me know. For what I want to edit, or should I say what kind of levels I wanna make, its a little too complex to use jed as it is now. However when I can add sectors within sectors, the level will still be complex, but all I will have to worry about is making them (resizing a new sector and placing it.) For jk levels - rooms connected (different size ones) this version of jed is great.
I can't seem to understand why jk would show a 3do object such as a crate, etc, but it wont display a 3d sector within its enviorment. And if it does, which it should seeing of past works - i.e. baron's hed, and katarn's home, then regardless which editing utility your using, I don't see why it wouldnt show up so long as you have the sector placed correctly, but hey....life is such. Thanks to everyone who's responded.
Guess the main question of this post is, is there yet an easier way of doing this, or will it ever be supported in jed?
Thanks for your time, Dave
