I know where the grass is, and how to get there, and yes the view option is on skinned. i have tried to select them many ways but still the out come is the same....a pink box!!

if someone could give me a walkthrough or something, because that is all i need in my level now.

Can you see any other xmodels in your map?

A pink box usually means it can't find the xmodel you selected.

Select the box
Press N
and post here the key/valuepair for 'model'.

In the 2d window, right click, select 'misc' -> 'model'.

In the navigator window go to root/raw/xmodels (Not the prefabs folder).

Find one of the Foliage_ models.

Thats the thing that immediately springs to mind - you've tried to pick a model from the wrong folder without noticing.

I put a humvee and two trucks and some chain link fence in my map. I can run through them like they are not even there. I had to put a thin brush around my fence and vehicles with clip texture on them. How can I put the vehicles and fence in map where you can't walk through them without haveing to clip all them?I don't want to have to clip every single model I put in the map, because the way it's going, there will be alot of clipping to do. I went through RMB on 2d grid/misc/models/root/raw/xmodels

When I do it any other way, it shows a pink box like they were talking about in post above.

Xmodels are not solid ingame (which is why it works for grass). To enter solid stuff, you'll have to add prefabs instead.

When I do that just like you said

right-click->misc->prefab->map_source\prefabs...

I get a red box inside my map on my grid. How do I know what in the world they look like?

What kind of video card you have?
