: Hey, Most of the time I can just come to this excellent
: web page / JED resource center and get the answere I need
: but not this time. My question is in working with JED5
: I keep getting the consistency error "Sector is not Convex"
: I know what it means,I just can't seem to fix them, I've
: gone to the vertices mode looking for the problem but don't
: see anything. Is there an easy way to fix it or do I have
: to delete my hard work? Any help Please and thank you for
: letting us all shair in your great page.

Yeah.. i got that error like 109378 times before I found out how to avoid it. The thing that causes this problem is the Grid. It is by far one of the most useful thing in JED but if used inconrectly can give you major headaches.

I'll explain... In a few simlpe words... DO NOT MOVE THE GRID! Ehhehe yknow... G+Mouse... It messes up alignement and all... Do all you can without moving the grid... If the gris gets too short, or your level too big, Select the farthest vertice in the way you wish to expand and snap the grid to it (SHIFT-S).

You're wondering what this has to do with convex sectors? It's because, if you move the grid, it is hard to manually put it exactly aligned with existing vx/edges. So you get adjoin errors, and before you know it you've jumped in VX mode to try to fix that. Yep.. It fixes adjoin problems but 9 dentist out of 10 say it will cause toothaches and concave sectors....

hope it helps...

PS> If you're doing MP levels, They should get any bigger than the grid anyway so its not a big problem...
