thanks pvt ryan. i guess i misread the sdk info. thinking it does not block visibility with does not block light. :x

"Detail brushes do not block visibility and cannot be used to seal the world or areaportals. Since they do not block visibility, detail brushes have a side benefit of simplifying the visibility set. Proper use of detail brushes can greatly decrease the time it takes for vvis to compile the level."
