Any ideas of what might be causing this?

It's driving me crazy. A stray brush might be making that shadow since it doesn't appear when I do a compile with cordon bounds. Could there be another cause?

We're talking about the huge shadow under the models right? Disabled shadows?

It's under the models, but reaches both edges of the map, so it can't be the model...

Hmm... If it reaches across the map, then could there be somthing up with the skybox?

Slick looking building, BTW

This is what it should look like, but it only happens with a small cordon bounds compile.

How very strange...When did this start happening? Perhaps if you saved an older copy of the VMF then you could add bits from the broken VMF until the error occurs.

Since it only happens when rendering the whole map, It might have something to do with the 3d skybox. I'm going to expand it a bit. When I made it, the map wasn't so big, so it might be possible that the dark part corresponds to a sky-textured brush rendered 16 times bigger.

Bump
That was exactly the problem! A skybox brush was being rendered in that area of the map.
