H.E.K. Error F.A.Q.

Read the second question and answer in that FAQ.

I did read that before i posted but i dont have stl check so i cant check to find the open edges since im using gmax and chimp and besides even if i make a normal box thats all sealed up with nothing in it it gives me atleast 4 errors.
EDIT: I looked and found a .wrl file and i opened it in text pad...

if u wanna take a look at what it looks like copy the code into some text pad and save it as splinter.wrl
EDIT:Again
i went through and imported the .wrl into gmax at and saw the errors that i had were not errors at all the map was sealed fine there was nothing wrong with it!
can someone plz help me!
what are the things that it needs to have to create the map , because i just want to create a simple map i havent yet got passed the structure part yet... no matter how different the map is it wont create. i tried using the .jms file that was included with the exaples for the hek tutorial and i can make the structure that they used but i cant make my own
