Adding brushes to entities?

Hi all,

Could anyone tell me - is it possible to add more brushes to an already created entity?
I ask because I have an elevator made from a rotating door. I've made it a few times coz I kept adding supports and the like underneath it. Now I'd like to add a few boxes on top of it but does that mean making the whole thing from scratch again? Is there any way to just select the elevator and then somehow add the boxes to it? So they are part of the lift too?

Thanks.

And entity is like a model or an game FX.
You cant do anything with an entity.
But if you are building something out of a brush You can add things to it.

Well Ramah, you dont have to rebuild it. Do like this:
1) Select one of the brushes in the entity.
2) Select "Select complete entity" from the "Selection" menu. ( All of the elevator should be selected now )
3) Select the brushes you want to add ( by clicking on them while holding down the shift button ).
4) Select "Add to entity" from the "Selection" menu.

All done!
