== Things to do for Optimization ==

'''1:''' Add culldistance to meshes

'''2:''' Put No collision on complex meshes, or even simple ones. Then add a blocker around them

'''3A:''' Convert Solid brushes to mesh, then add no collision

'''OR'''

'''3B:''' Right click your solid brushes (Blue) goto Type> Non-Solid NOTE: Only works on solid brushes

'''4:''' Zone Portals

'''5:''' Add anti portals inside walls

'''6:''' All surfaces unseen by player, Goto properties (F5) and set Unlit

'''7:''' All surfaces unseen by player, Set the texture to a solid black texture

'''8:''' Com-pres Lights to Dxt-1 Goto your build options, and under lights, select Dxt-1 then build all in that window

== How to convert complex brushes to mesh ==

'''NOTE:''' It is easier to select your brushes, then copy and paste into a new map

Also note, i refer to the group of brushes that you want to convert as an object.

'''Step 0:''' Make sure you object is suspended in mid air

'''Step 1:''' Take your builder brush (red brush) and cover the tops bottoms and sides of your "object"

'''Step 2:''' Once the Brush is completely covering the object, press the intersect button (its below add)

'''Step 3:''' Make sure you click one of the corners so you have a pivot point

'''Step 4:''' Right click the brush tool (which is now in the form of your object) and select '''Convert > StaticMesh'''

'''Step 5:''' '''Package:''' ''MyLevel''
'''Group:''' ''Whatever''
'''Name:''' ''TheMeshIMade''

'''Step 6:''' Goto your static mesh browser, your mesh is in the MyLevel group (Pull down tab)
