I finally closed the cordon tool, and finished my own sky seal ;) phew... but what is this?
some props I've put to be lower having their origins under the whole map... and leaking away?:facepalm:
How to make an entity (props to be precise) that are not leaking because of their origins underground?

Example: i want to place a rock, with only its tip showing outside, and its origin 512 units underground outside the map?

Yah, works... now another issue... some light buld leaks right trough the floor according to the line file.
I crawled all over it in hopes to find it... may there be another cause?

*Gives self "noob slap"*
If you cant find the entity the line starts, go to "tools-> go to coordinates" and fill in the coordinates mentioned in the log. Remember entities and displacements can't block leaks, therefore its easiest to hide all entities and displacements so you can spot the leak easier (you might have turned a wall into an entity which was supposed to seal your level for instance). In space you can't seal holes in a spaceship with humans, in maps you can't seal holes with entities.

My whole floor is displacement... :facepalm:

One day, Valve, you will pay for your sins.
Sorry for a time waste... now i figured why valve has nodraw textures all over the floors and walls :/
