as in from above the map? you fly up real high and look down. whala.

i got that, but the problem is sapien is only showing individual buildings, rather than the whole level. Am having to draw out each map is going to take me hoourrss, and wont be accurate or to scale. garr

Thats the magic of clusters! Your map is portalled, which means it's divided into clusters. To view a different cluster, you must enter it. To get an overhead view, do what this guy did: http://forum.halomaps.org/index.cfm?page=topic&topicID=13989
get the map into max, press T, and zoom out with the mouse wheel. Then use a screen capture program (assuming u don't have 3ds) to take a picture
get gmax here: http://www.turbosquid.com/gmax

Turn of clusters and portaling. Press ~ in Sapien, type debug (don't hit enter!) and hit tab and look up the commands

Oooooo, nice....
