Good news:  A double-sided polygon made in modeler is really two
single-sided polygons back-to-back.  Bad news:  You can't use unify on'em
(but you can try).  I don't know if this will help any, but if you select
a polygon that's double sided then hit Info (i), you can de-select on of
them, and thus delete (either with Cut or Kill (k) ) the other.  Still a
real pain, but it MIGHT (maybe) be easier than re-making the whole thing.

Sorry if this is a little belated... been out of the loop for a bit...
