So if i don't use the stretch and build a brush at 999 size, then it wastes 6.144 faces in building it. Leaving not much to build. But if I build at a small size then use stretch, I had only 6 faces used instead of 6,144. Portals can be stretched as well. could be useful if a low face count stops portals from becoming unstable when dealing with a large room.

"Apply Map" on those faces and you'll get the same effect. Don't use a texture that tiles a zillion times and you can make a huge brush, it's no huge revelation. It's also not very useful in an FPS game to make a room that takes 2 minutes to get to the other end of.

It's also not very useful in an FPS game to make a room that takes 2 minutes to get to the other end of. Ah so its to do with the texture tiling. Ok then the only use I see for this when doing big portals. You don't really need to texture tile that. Or when doing an outdoor level to build a small little world in and stretch a portal brush in the middle of it to keep face count down. I wish I knew how many objects a portal can render at a time because sometimes if you put too many objects in a portal, brushes begin to turn to wire frames or dissapear.
