So that grey thing is the skybox? I thought it was some kind of concrete texture.

Try putting a NODRAW brush between the skybox and the other thing behind it

Nodraw brushes blocks VIS, so it should work if you do it well

It doesn't make sense to not see areas like that behind a sky. You could just make buildings there.

Have you tried compiling it with vis? If you can optimise it so it isn't rendering the inside of the building then you won't see it.

you should check if you dont have a leak in your skybox, even one unit and the game starts draving thing behind the skybox
afaik the engine will draw it when it is part of a brush on your side of the skybox

I think what he means is for the corridor te be invisible behind the sky, as if its not there?
