I'm putting together an architectural model with a ton of flat planes, and at some point whenever I'm editing an object one of the faces will become rippled ... the shader will pick up a dark spot on an otherwise flat single polygon.  
 I've tried averaging the normals, or the "set to face" command but this will only work for a few faces on the object ... anyone know how to fix or prevent this?
