Is there an easy way to create all of the collision boxes for your games?

I am currently creating rather a complex building in a 3D package. It has pillars, irregular shaped walls, many rooms, corridors.

Will I need to place all of the collision boxes manually, or is there an easier way?

There is an easier way.

I attached sparky's collision dll, you will need the enhancement pack or v1.2 (v1.14) of DBC.

You can use that to check for collision on complicated terrains and x or 3DS objects.

Thanks!
However, I am inside the building, and need to check for collisions with walls. I'm not sure that ground height is the same thing. But having read a few threads it seems that Sparky's can do sliding collision inside a building.

This isn't only for ground height. You can cast the ray in any direction you want and see if it goes through a wall, or the ground or even the roof.
