Hmmm... I ain't a Quark-user so I haven't seen this. How powerful *is* this feature in Quark? I presume all it does is show you visible faces - correct me if I'm wrong. What *I* envisage is a tool which takes these faces, and intelligently reconstructs solids from them. More of an object-oriented approach. This would mean that to edit the resulting map file, rather than having to move each object as a collection of planes, you could simply move the one solid... and stretch it, rotate it, etc. Performing these operations on a conventionally decompiled file is a real chore. Anyway, if all you want to do is to view a bsp without decompiling it, then iD have produced an excellent viewer - Quake! Hehehe...
