This is probably your map that's causing it. Do a "check for problems" (Alt+P) before converting to .map. You probably have some invalid brushes.
QUACK! QUACK!

It says that there are no errors ......... Should I delete brush by brush to know what is wrong ???

Did you make the entire map, and then try to export/compile it?

How did you make the table?

(E.g. Using the "Vertex manipulation tool" incorrectly can cause invalid brushes.)
QUACK! QUACK!

A lot of stuff you find randomly on the internet can be pretty fucked up.
...and that's the bottom line because Mate de Vita said so.

It looks like some of your brushes exploded.

They are infinite size in X and Y directions. You need to delete them and build them again.

Also make sure you are doing Check for Problems in the .RMF, not the .MAP.

If the .map lacks half the brushes, yes.

checking in the.rmf file makes no difference . the only thing that is working is deleting the solid and rebuilding it. I have also notice that this error occurs often when I have resized the solid.

Seems like a dodgy prefab, don't use it.

Why even use a table-prefab anyway!? How hard could it be to build a table yourself? It's just a flat surface supported by a few legs...
QUACK! QUACK!

It's not necessarily the prefab's fault nor yours. Hammer is rife with bugs. There's no reason it should ever let you create infinite-sized brushes in the first place.

In my experience you just have to deal with it. Delete and rebuild.

But also try to pamper Hammer a bit and you'll be less likely to run into these bugs. Don't create extra-huge or strangely-shaped brushes. Keep them on the grid. Don't put them anywhere near the edge of the grid if you can avoid it. Make everything out of the simplest, most medium-sized pieces possible.

the prefab was actually a super-well datailed table with at least some 35 solids in it .......

...which makes it even more probable that it has a faulty brush somewhere.
