I'm new to mapping. What do I do when a leak goes through a wall even though my map is completely sealed?
Sometimes the pointfile buggers up and goes somewhere completely different to where the leak actually is. In this situation, you'll just need to try and find the leak yourself. Fly around your map with all entities (including func_detail) and displacements disabled via visgroup and see if you can find the leak.
Alright.What can also happen is that a solid brush in Hammer (like a skybox brush) is solid to Hammer itself, but for some obscure reason VBSP thinks it's a big gaping hole into the void. Your best bet is to delete the brush that intersects the pointfile line, then rebuild it from scratch.
