Custom Models In Garry's mod?

[Chaotix]

Greetings to all, ive been part of this community for awhile ignoring my post count ive read posts, but never found it a neccesity to post, but now i seek help and im not sure exactly of where to post this but i shall post it here,

I was part of a mod team that fell apart and i had some models laying around i have them already exported fine with the appropiate texture and model and appear fine in game when i used a tutorial map and placed my model there but my questions is how can i go about placing my models in Garry's mod since my models wont be part of a game i rather at least use them in Garry's mod to receive some type of self reward of being able to create the models and going through this hassle. What i have done so far from what i figured out is exported each model/texture into the hl2 folder where it appears and editing, the garry_props.txt to source the files where located but when run it gives me the default ERROR sign flashing in red, has anyone ever attempted to do this and yes i have searched in other forums.

You will need to move the models you want to spawn into a models subfolder in your garrysmod folder (i think), then reference them from there using the same convention used in the garry_props file
