Better/More optimized connection between bloc
A wondered for a long time, if these differ at optimization:
1. First method
The surface area is 56 on the upper block and 52 (+null) on the lower.
2. Second method
The surface area is 40 on the upper and lower blocks (+null) but vertex tool is used.
So which of these is better? And why? Does ir reduce map size and increase optimization?

so i would suggest its the ceators thing if he is using second or first methode.

I thought of wb too :/, but I use the second method for wall connection, decals and such stuff.
I use a modification of 1st method, dunno if it's good or bad, but there is a chance of leak when you use it http://failai.in/P/1254841824_goodorbaddunnoplzdonthurtme.JPG
