Re: Weird shadows after building lights
For the best results with lightmaps you need to make sure the borders of your UV shells are exactly aligned to the grid. You will also want to make sure you setup your UV grid to be by pixels.

Re: Making holes and centering items correctly
I'm not familiar with whatever program you're using, but one approach is to set the objects origin to the grid center (where x and y meet), and then to center the object over to that origin.
