I understand why this is in the game, to restrict some mad as hell shapes from overloading the engine. But I am not trying to add anything to it, I'm trying to cut abit away so it would make it simpler, I could then push to two bits together, and edit each part individually. Think of it as blocks (as in blocks of houses) I have them connected and joined together with no seam in it, the message pops up when I try to add more. It also pops up when I try to cut away. Well I want to cut straight down the middle and then push the two "Blocks" together so I would have two individual parts which are editable. But it will not allow to do that. I hope they can figure this out for the full game.

Well, cutting an object in half (assuming you're using a square shape and "sliding" it through) actually adds 4 vertexes (i.e. corners) to the object until you reach the other end, which is why it can't be used on objects that are already too complex. To properly cut an object this way, you should make a long rectangle somewhere. It needs to be long enough to reach both ends of the object you want to cut in half. Then you simply make a copy of that rectangle (without placing it) and use it to cut into the object in one go. Hope that helps. Sorry if I'm misunderstanding your issue.

Nope that is fine, you understood correctly I have just tried the rectangle idea, but it still gave me the message. the rectangle was long enough, it went from one side to the other. http://img269.imageshack.us/img269/5732/imag0136copy.th.png (http://img269.imageshack.us/i/imag0136copy.png/) http://img811.imageshack.us/img811/5215/imag0137.th.jpg (http://img811.imageshack.us/i/imag0137.jpg/)

Have you tried the corner editor to drag an existing corner across to the other side? That should also cut it in half, without adding complexity. Or maybe you could reduce complexity by removing a few corners, then you should have enough "room" to cut it.
