Another short thread. So, I have been making some portals. In fact my favourite type. Terrain portals, as we all know(Or portals in general) is a huge guessing game(Feels like it at least). So this is my problem. After getting some portals through tool(120 to be more specific) with no errors, parts of the BSP disappear in Sapien. So the question is what could I be doing wrong?

Added some Neuro into the mix and suddenly they worked. :O
I am going to remake the portals until they work, Don't see any other fix to it. Other than fixing whatever I am doing wrong, which in my own eyes I am not. But that is just me.

Somewhere floating around the Halomaps forums there is a very in-depth explanation about portals. Trying to find it now...

I used this http://forums.gearboxsoftware.com/showthread.php?t=17321

All other guides quote from that basically.

The one I'm thinking of was more about how to correctly place them.

Tried three different ways of placing the portals now, Still having the issue, though in the middle of the map the portals work perfectly. The map is inside a cave, so you could say it works as an interior map, though there are terrain in it.

Big picture!

Better to show than explain, It's an old render though.

Edit: The bsp mostly disappears at the bases right now, which means I have fixed most of it, question is why it only disappears at the bases? Is it because they will only render if I can clearly see them?
