I don't know if anyone else finds it hard to crete walls for their map but i found a simple way to do it, it may not be the best but it's simple to do. First i made a bos 200x200x20 then i used the line tools in gmax to draw an outline for the edge of may map then i changed the line to have a height as to cover the height of my box i made (20+). Then i clicked display the mesh and i foud that i could use boolean to cut on this shape and create some walls. Here is how it looked http://www.n00bstories.com/image.view.php?id=1615733661 (Don't worry about the dodgy texturing) If anyone is intrested then i will explain it properly.

It's around 1000 including everything you see bit i think i could get it down to 900 easily removing all of the backfaces of the box that i cut it out of. I'm not very skilled in Gmax and i found this an easier way to add wals to a map. You can change the poly detail, i made the thing quite curved so it did add a few polygons.

There is a great modifier in gmax called "Displace". You should check into that. It uses the similar technique that heightfield does. And maybe that will help you guys who struggle making walls.

A more advanced method I use is mesh-smoothing and polygonal deformation by vertex realignment and displacement.
That's how most of my maps are made, and I usually make the base terrain in about five minutes because of how easy it is for me (After working with the same technique so long) to do it.
