add cylinder concave note?

if cylinders are made too small, it seems they turn themselves into weird concave shapes however, in many maps (official and not), there seem to be small cylinder brushes that are small.

the bug generally occurs at below 64x64. should I add this note? or not? Kizzycocoa 19:32, 7 December 2009 (UTC)

That's a limitation in Hammer's method of calculating the position of each vertex, using a lower number of faces can fix this problem, as will using a model. Solokiller 20:41, 7 December 2009 (UTC)
but, I swear that it could previously :S Kizzycocoa 20:58, 7 December 2009 (UTC)
I doubt that, The tool forces vertices on the grid, even though you can move and scale objects in a grid smaller than 1 unit. The best thing to do is to reduce the face count until it's a convex brush. Solokiller 21:36, 7 December 2009 (UTC)
