Exactly !!
I have a map called cs_port

A ship port. It's BIG !!!!

I want to get it below 3000 wpoly's in one spot of the map.
Been working on it for three years now.

I need to turn off far way rooms that do indeed have a line if sight. The
player will never need to see then anyway. I assume the sky would show up
rather than the inside of the room, if you looked thru a scoped riffle,
which would be fine.

Another map has leafs seen from other leafs that can not possible be seen at
all.
Need to fix it manually

With torque, IIRC you manually place all portals for vis with the bsp parts.

it actually would be kinda neat to be able to do that with HL (or even
hl2 for that matter)  for extra tweaking that precomputing just isn't always
that great for.

ie: there are plenty of instances where stuff could be blocked off, but the
tools decide it can see (because of what botman said) even though the player
can never possibly see it, so having complete control over where the portals
are.. and what can be seen would be REALLY handy.
