When doing pathing tests, there are a few things to remember:
1) ALWAYS choose an actor! Remember that if you have large creatures in your mod, you will need to use them for pathing tests (in areas you want the big boys to be).

4) Sometimes everything looks good, but no matter how you pattern your edges, you just can't get through a certain spot. The simplest thing to do is to delete the offending tris and then use edge-select (G) to double-click both edges on either side of the gap, and let the CK fill that spot in. It will usually work (Even if the CK builds the exact same tris you had!)
