I've directly copied the elevator from the example Portal 1 map of Source SDK. But the ceiling and floor in the elevator room appear completely dark in certain areas. Could anyone please tell me how to fix this?

Just a thought but perhaps THW's tutorial on lighting would help. I'm thinking about the part about shadows (34:25 in).

I am cocksure you have to disable the shadows of the elevator model
