### ERROR couldn't build bsp because of overlapping surfaces

I get this error when I try to compile my map. I exported successfully with 3ds Max 6.

It says in the tutorial that, 2 objects might be intersecting. I only have 2 objects though, the reference frame and the level box. They are 1000 units apart, they aren't intersecting. This happens when it gets to building the bsp by the way. Any help? Thanks.

Hmm...are your normals in your level box flipped to point inwards?

Yes. Do I need any clipping geometry or is that just a suggestion? I am just making this map to see it work.

Nice, I got it to work, I think I had an isolated vertex lying around somewhere.
