warwulf said it was impossible to move the points so.. that solves it

What?

Could you explain your problem better? Maybe some kind of visual aid...?

you know when you make a triangle in bsp? and if you go to a different view you can only move *some* of the points? thats my problem. I cant move the point i want to thats all

You should not be moving points, period. Dragging vertices at all is risky, and fairly bad practice. Also, you run in to problems like the one you're having.
The only solution is for you to stop dragging vertices. Instead, try making better use of the clipping planes to create non-rectangular shapes. I believe there are a few tutorials on the forums which include the use of clipping planes.

I always just move triangle points and line them up for terrain. Its faster then clipping planes and I never have the problem that Robin described.
