I'm quite new to using DeleD Lite for making game levels (and pretty much anything, actually!) so I'm wondering how I can get rid of the gaps in the floor of this building I'm modelling. (Don't worry, the building will be more detailed by the time I'm finished with it!)

Sorry, I can't make it appear any bigger. I've added a link to it now, try clicking on it!

you are using 3 flat cube's for that floor right? to get the hole for the stairs. If you delete those side polygons of the cube's that are in the floor, than merge the 4 cube's and weld all vertice's(with 2) you won't see it anymore. I don't know if this is the problem but it looks like it is.

Yep, merging objects and then welding vertices (weld=merge for vertices) is the way to go here. Smile

I'm haivng trouble with the welding of the vertices. Which vertices do I select? There only appear to be 2 on the corners where the objects met before they merged, one on the top of the object and one on the bottom. I've tried selecting these and it says "0 vertice(s) welded" and nothing happens.

just go to selection- select all, and then weld, but if the vertice's were already very close to eachother and you merged, they were probaply automaticaly welded. The most important thing (the one that causes the lines) is that you need to remove those side polygons that are in the floor.

I've tried removing the side polygons, but that doesn't sort it out completely. Never mind, I'll be able to do lots more when I upgrade to Pro in January, I'll be able to use the "subtract" feature, using one single cube object for the floor.

[Edit] I've just tried the weld feature using a minimum vertex distance of 100 (as 1 or 2 didn't do anything), and it said "20 vertices welded" but I can't see any difference. What is the minimum vertex distance used for and what should it be set to?

A distance of 100 means that any vertices closer to eachother than 100 units will be welded together. The number you set it to depends on the scale at which you model and what exactly you are trying to do. If for example you have snapping on and just want to get rid of some redundant vertices, you could set it to 1 and it'll work.
