Warning:Env_models do not have any collision, and will not cast shadows with normal compilers.
Workaround:Create a brush-based collision mesh and tie it to afunc_wall with renderamt set to 0 (aka invisible). Set the texture scale to 4.0 or higher to avoid wasting allocblock on invisible faces. This will also cast lightmap shadows, unless alphatest ({) textures are used.
