Is there a way in red to like invert all the verticies on a brush or mirror the brush so you can build like half an object, thats the same on both sides, then copy and paste that half and invert it and make it line up with the first half? 
No matter which way I rotate my group of brushes, They don't end up right... They need to be mirrored or inverted to line up... |

hmmmm, you could try making one, then copy and paste in the same place, select one of them, cut it in half, then lock it, and cut the other one the other way ? |

Basically, you have 2 boards on top of each other, you select one, split it in half, then select the other and split it the other way... |

I don't believe RED has a mirror function. never came across one.
So i guess you'll have to rebuild the thing you want mirrored, in mirror. |

I guess you could make a level in RED then export it into 3d studio max. Some one with the program could easly import you level push 3 buttons that would mirror the map and send it back to you in 2 pieces. |

True, but then the whole level would be a cluttar object, that you would need to run the level with a mod to use... |

No.
The way you get v3m into RED as a brush is:
First put the v3m into a vpp like meshes.vpp
Then open your map up.
Next in brush mode add a v3d/v3m as a brush by searching and selecting the model. It will then load into RED, because it is found in that meshes.vpp also. When you save you map it will be built into the map and people will not need you v3m model or a mod to run the map. |

Aaw depending how you want an mirror I would atleast try this:
Make an first part of "mirror brush" then copy and paste it, and rotate it 180 decrees on suitable axis. Then you should have mirror brushes. |

No it doesn't 
What you see is the triangulation of the faces. One side of a box has 2 mesh faces, not 1. There is an invisible line splitting the side into 2 triangles. Everything is being calculated as triangles since thats the way DirectX and your graphic card works.
A polygon can have multiple faces. If your model has 400 polygons, the estimate mesh face count is twice as much. What counts are the mesh faces, not polygons.
RED counts the mesh faces in the log file.
(of course the level is much harder to texture when everything been splitted up.)
I also thought about this way, but then he would have to re-texture the other half, and it's all one brush. No detail brushes, etc.
Well..You must duplicate and move each single brush to the other side to mirror them  |
