How do you make invisible polygons/colliders? And make scenery collide?

Transparent Polygons
1. Completely highlight a polygon or polygons.
2. Go to the Properties Window -> Polygon Properties.
3. Set Opacity to 0.

Collider Placement
1. Select the Objects/Spawn tool.
2. Right-click and select Colliders (should be in its own section).
3. Adjust the size of the collider by changing the Radius value on the Palette window.
4. Place the collider over the scenery file by left-clicking.

1.) Do you have the ENTIRE polygon selected?
2.) If you have any version below 1.4, Poly Opacity isn't visible.

When I use that method I always have fuzzy borders around the polygons. How would I remove these borders?

Don't use a texture which has edges. You can check if the texture has an edge file by going in the edges folder in the textures folder. If there is an edge file in there with the same name as the texture you are using, then it will display that edge in Soldat.

If you really want to use that texture but without edges, you need to copy that texture file in the textures folder and rename it to something else.
