In Reply to: SO, ONLY WAY TO FIX A NON-CONVEX SECTOR IS......?? posted by PIG_DOG on February 22, 1998 at 11:38:54:
There is a non-destructive way. It isn't a step by step procedure and
it may not work on every messed up sector, though.
If the sector looks convex, but the Consistency Checker says its isn't,
the problem is most likely some invalid surface in the sector. First, you
must fix all non-planar and non-convex surface errors in the sector. Cycle
through surfaces in sector (N and P in surface mode) and see if any face
looks wrong - non-convex, facing the wrong way, etc. Cycle through edges
in a face (Shift+N, Shift+P in edge mode) and see if the edges go in
incorrect order.
If you detect any errors, try to move the vertices of the suspicious
looking surface. Or try to move the face next to this face. Be careful as you
might add non-planar errors this way. Most likely it will be a face of some
weird shape.
