Thread: Disappearing Floors?

I've been working on my map for a week now with no problems. But I today when I was working on new building I had an Issue with the floors disappearing after compiling and testing the map. I can stand on them, but I can't see them... I noticed going below or looking at the sides of the brush/floor I'm able to see the texture, but it's not showing up the top side. Anyone know what could be going on?

I've tried restarting radiant and mbuilder, trying other textures, making sure I had no intersecting lines and remaking the floor in other areas of the map.

Try remaking brushes 307, 308, 425, and 426. You can find them by going in Edit -> Find Entity / Brush. Also make sure to be careful when using vertex manipulation (v) on brushes.

Also see:

These error normally occurs when you are using vertex manipulation (pressing V on the keyboard and moving the brushes vertices). This could cause at least one face of the brush to be invisible in the game and usually causes the brush to disappear in the editor.

You could also get this error when you have a brush that is smaller than 1 grid unit thick, and try to re-size the brush with the grid size set to 1 unit or greater. This will cause the brush to disappear and become an infinite size. This may also produce extra errors like "Entity x, Brush x: degenerate plane"�, "Entity x, Brush x: mirrored plane"�, "WARNING: brush plane with no normal"

What I tend to do is make most of my brushes and world using either 4 or 8 grid, and smaller details lower if needs be.
