env_model is a point entity available in 
Day of Defeat, originally found in Spirit of Half-Life. It is used to place a model (usually an MDL) on a map, with optional animation and no collision.
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. 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.Entity description
