I started making a piece of my new map, and wanted to compile to see if everything worked. but then it says "the system cannot find the file specified" after compiling, and was wondering if anyone could help out?

This error occurs due to something else in your compilelog. I found 'BaseWindingForPlane: no axis found'. I don't know how this is fixed though

Interlopers didn't recognize the error, but if I had to guess, I'd say you have an invalid solid. Use alt-p to see if you have any.

This fixes a similar error, might fix this one?: Open up the VMF in notepad or another text editor, then find and replace all instances of 'nan' with some random number like 3000

I had this issue in one of my maps a while back, and the cause of the porblem was a game_text entity. I found it by using the cordon bounds until I could pinpoint the entity. Maybe give that a go and see if you have any luck.
