I'm trying to make an obelisk type clock tower for my POV level. Whenever I try I

1) can't cleave it out right to be a pyramidal type structure

or

2) when I drag the vertex I get a lot of convex sectors and non planar surfaces

Any suggestions?

Dragging vertices is always dangerous.

Why can't you cleave it like a pyramid? That should be pretty easy.

just one word

3DO

using a 3do would drastically increase framerate

3do's are from the devil and I don't want a huge obelisk 3do when its easier (supposedly) just to make it part of the level.

nope, 3do will be easier in this case, and will create better framerate

3dos are easier and more efficient for positive space editing, and sectors for negative

The only problem with that is you might not be able to light it like you want.

now that is a problem

the only solution is a dynamic light

Well, I figured out how to do it in level and it now has a nifty Eye design on the side. I might have to start the level over though because now I have about 59 squandered attempts of obelisks all over the place.

After your done, you should post your clock tower 3do on Massassi or something. I need a clock tower 3do for my Salk Wars TC
