Um... yeah, that's more or less what I had been thinking of. Only there's no need to go via the "faces" stage, coz that doesn't have any info that isn't in the bsp - that's why that's as far as current decompilers go. As well as concavity, it occurs to me that texture is potentially a good clue as to how objects are formed, though it gets a wee bit complicated where brushes have multiple textures. Anyone got any other strategies...? Kas. ============================================================================ "The deadliest bullshit is transparent and odorless" - Wm.
