Hey, I got a newer computer and got P2AT working on it. Anyway is there a way to get Portal 1 models in Portal 2 correctly? I've already tried putting P1 models directly into the P2 models directory, but in P2AT, when I click on a model, nothing shows up. I tried viewing the model viewer, but I get , "Error loading model". I'm thinking I need to convert them somehow. Any idea?

There are a bazillion topics on this, try searching.

http://forums.steampowered.com/forums/s ... ?t=1917638 - Well, this is what I first tried, but I got a bunch of errors in the editor, so I undid (dunno if that's even a word ) everything. Nothing here seemed to work, there was some stuff like Portal 1 maps in Portal 2, but I want P1 MODELS in P2. I'll keep searching.

Ok, I found a program called StudioCompile, but it crashed every time I tried to extract something. I follows the directions on the thread I was on, but it still crashed. >:(

the mdldecompiler in studiocompiler will LOOK like it crashed and windows will even say its stopped responding but if you just leave it be for five more minutes it will recover and display a happy "Completed Dumping Model!" message

Also if your trying to extract portal 2 models you have to set the tools directory to portal 2 authoring tools path. C:\Program Files\Steam\steamapps\common\portal 2\bin

I don't understand I can put orangebox models in portal 2s folder with no issues just fine
