Map2Dif question

Hello there,

Newbbie here exploring the capabilities of map2dif I am getting the following error trying to convert a .map to .dif:

::CreateBaseWinding: No Point found for Winding?

Any comments would be apreciated.

Thank you very much.

I've seen this error caused by a ray (2D line), a 2D plane (both finite and infinite), or a brush with a side extending into infinity. The rays and finite planes are the hardest to find in your interiors but you can usually find them by poking around. The infinite planes and brushes tend to stand out if you zoom out =) These oddball geometries are generally created when using Worldcraft's carve functions so concentrate your efforts there.

This error really shouldn't be the show-stopper it is and would be trivial to fix. If you want a technical explanation of why this is occurring, I can explain in more detail =) A warning and a rejection of the bad geometry would be much more effective. Later this week I will see what I can do about it (time permitting).

Thank you very much for your help.

I will try to see those details.
