also how do u make them totally solid? i can only make the box in the middle solid but can walk through the rest and i need it all fully solid

cheers, Iggy

you'll have to build extra brushes with a clip texture around it.
which clip texture (e.g., common/woodclip or common/metalclip) you choose, depends on the object material, as this defines the sounds walking on the brush and i think also the kind of debris and decals when you shoot at it.

so say if i had a truck and i wanted it full solid i would just get its texture up in the texture box a sort of fill it with that texture?
is that wot u mean?

this is what i mean: build additional brushes around, over or in the truck model

I've yet to try and clip a model... sounds hard

it's not that hard... 8)
just build the rough shape of the model and texture it with a clip texture.
you won't have to rebuild any details, because players won't recognize the difference anyway.
