Invalid solid structures because of vertex to
Hey! I have been trying to make realistic looking walls as they do it in the forum turtorials, however each time ive used the vertex tool i seem to get alot of invalid solid structures and cant compile.
Does anyone know why i get them?

Maybe this tutorial will help u...

3 vertexes always lay on the same plane.
In case you wanna manipulate face with 4 or more vertexes you would need luck or geometry/logic knowledge to keep all vertexes on the same plane.

Yea, because with 4 points you could make one go inside the suqare (2D view) or on an edge of it and that's what gives the error.
Right ? It's a rule when you use vertex
Thx guys! I used the turtorial and now it all works out :D Love you all!

well yeah, all brushes must be convex. Though personally I dont get any errors for using concave brushes with vluzacn modification of ZHLT (brush just gets cut off, so its not concave anymore), not sure about other tools.
anyway I was talking about different issue.

here is a cube. You can see on the left that face ABCD is on a single plane. if we move vertex D "down" like its done on the right image - face ABCD is no longer on a single plane, because we moved vertex D out of it. This brush is convex, but it will return "Invalid solid structure" error.
a face with 3 vertexes always lays on a single plane, thats one of the reasons why people use "triangle method" to manipulate vertexes easily.

good sometimes you can do it with 4 edges without any invalid structures but then you have a higher chance ingame that the block is half rendered and cuttet of
