Hey, quick and probably easy question. I tried to create a bridge using just a sheet brush and then a mask texture (metal bars in a grid) but the player falls through the bridge upon stepping on it. Is there a way to solidify either the surface or the brush so that players and actors can stay on it, but keep it as a sheet so that it has a paper thin look to it? thanks!

sheets are never solid, because they're two-dimensional - they have zero thickness. if you want to make a bridge using a masked texture, do it as you did before, but add a regular (probably thin) cube as an Invisible Collision Hull (edit-->add special...-->select ICH from the drop down menu and add). Now, the players will be walking on this invisible cube while it looks like they're walking on your sheet brush. Just remember, your bridge looks a little funny from the side, if you don't add some kind of supports to it.
