Portal 1 Models in Portal 2?
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.
I think in terms of boolean variables. Generally, it makes things easier.

) 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. >:(

Just a bunch of useful topics about this.
Please use the search function first next time 
And yes, it will crash, and it will crash and it will crash some more. it just does.

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 FilesSteamsteamappscommonportal 2bin
I don't understand I can put orangebox models in portal 2s folder with no issues just fine
As said in a couple other threads: there are a couple of models that just bug in portal 2.
