Can any of you experienced mappers help a relative noob.

I am building a map and have half of it built and i'm in the process of trying to optomise it with hint brushes but to be honest I am struggling.

I have just compiled my map and I am getting this error message, can anyone let me know what this means and how to rectify it?

FindPortalSide: Couldn't find a good match for which brush to assign to a portal near (555.3, -2034.5, 405.0)
Leaf 0 contents:
Leaf 1 contents: CONTENTS_SOLID
viscontents (node 0 contents ^ node 1 contents): CONTENTS_SOLID
This means that none of the brushes in leaf 0 or 1 that touches the portal has CONTENTS_SOLID
Check for a huge brush enclosing the coordinates above that has contents CONTENTS_SOLID
Candidate brush IDs: Brush 211150:

go to brush number 211150

View up top then click go to brush number, try making that brush a func_detail, should fix it.
it'd probably be better to just remake the brush though. :)

Thanks m8 appreciate the help this optimising is hard to get your head around :rolleyes:
