Custom models & textures in maps?

[ProudClod]

Hey guys- I've decided to take up map making- to take the load off of some members on my modding team... I am not aware of how to get a custom model/texture into hammer... I've already exported it into the smd format- though I do not know where to place the file- and how to access it from hammer... Any help would be GREATLY appreciated

its all there in the sdk documentation. Have a look, it's a good read.

I can't find anything about getting the mdoel into the database- where I can choose it as an entity- as a world model... Help please!
