ok question, once I have one of the Valve maps in VMEX, how to I export a particular house? It seems to export the whole thing...Is the only way by deleting everything except that which is selected? Also what's the best tool to convert to an .mdl?

cheers

So you want to open one of valve's map and take a certain part from it? Highlight every part of it and then edit>copy then just paste it into whatever map you want. Or you could save it as a prefab.

Thanks, you know I thought of that after I shut off my computer and went to bed...I was thinking to myself..you know man, just copy and paste...idiot! Hehehe.
