Suprised this isn't addressed on the board....
I'm getting the error message "7 Degenerate faces". But no detail on which brushes are affected. I assume that this means that the coodinates (vertices) for a 4-sided face aren't possible without affecting another face, a side affect of building with rectangles rather than triangles.
Is there some way of locating these faces with one of the tools so that I can fix them?
Thanks.

I have the same message when I compile, but there doesn't seem to be
any harm in having degenerate faces. I checked my map many times,
and I didn't find any bad texture or any cosmetic defects.
I assume you can safely ignore this error and just let it be.

If I remember my math right, a degenerate face is a point - where all your verticies are at the same place. Ive gotten the error before, but its never really been an issue so ive ignored it.
