Thanks for the link, I am writing my own engine atm and am at the map editor point and reading how the pros do it is always nice. Not using bsp because my game is chunk based with random layouts, but still. Great link since learning about binary space partition trees is always useful. There is another article as well I'll try to find, which was written by some Id guys and other randoms.
