I think this problem applies to all of my instances, but whenever I try to put one in, such as an entrance elevator, I don't see it.

So I guess it's all of 'em

Oh i missed that one...

twas a joke

... also (and I know this is dumb but you never know) are instances turned on in the instancing menu?

Where do I find the instancing menu to check that?

I think its because you have your vmf file in another dir, compared to where hammer 'expects' it.

The 'file name' in the func_instance for the vmf, is relative to where your .vmf is.

So, from your compile screenshot you have your map in: D:\My Stuff\2nd_map.vmf

When you install hammer etc, it puts the instances in \Program Files\Steam\SteamApps\common\portal 2\sdk_content\maps\instances

Normally you just create your own maps in \Program Files (x86)\Steam\SteamApps\common\portal 2\sdk_content\maps\

But if you put them somewhere else like you have then you have to copy the instances you want to your own dir also.

So either put your map in C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\SteamApps\common\portal 2\sdk_content\maps\ or copy the instance you want to D:\My Stuff\instances\turbine_elevator\

Think that will fix it for you...
