Sorry about the second post, but how do you add your own models to Sandbox? Please give all the info, thanks.

YOU HAVE TOO COPY ALL THE AREA WITH C AND PASTE IT IN ANOTHER MAP WITH V

I believe this might help:
Wings 3D to Sandbox
Or maybe this,
Importing OBJ files
Hope that helps!
Arc

I really don't understand this question. I'm guessing what your talking about is taking every thing you made from a map and porting it over to another map? Wouldn't that create lots of issues? such as geometry glitches?

Well I've actually started figuring out how to copy whole buildings and paste them elsewhere on the map. It usually requires pulling a cube out of the wall/floor you're building on.

I don't think it would be too bad!

okay, I don't know what Gr1m and Arc are getting at, but I tested esequiel's idea by making some blocks, copying with C, then I opened a new map, found a spot, scrolled up, and hit V (paste). It works!
Also, I found that if you copied something, then increased the gridsize, then pasted, the copied material would grow/shrink in ratio to the original/new gridsize.
The thing is... I didn't test copying materials or monsters/mapmodels. So I'm not sure about those.

What grim is saying it to use the command called mapenlarge. this will double the area of your map.
Just press the button normally found above your tab key, this should bring up the command promp with a /
then type in mapenlarge and hit enter
voila more room.
