I'm a newbie so take my comments with a grain of salt. My understanding is that loading models as opposed to constructing in Away with the extrude classes or primitives will require more resources. However, it may be difficult to do everything you'd like within the native Away classes. If you do use a 3D modeler, get it into PreFab and use the export features, adding your models within your code is a breeze. So cool Fabrice.
As far as the collision map stuff with the Frustum example, it was a challenge for me to adopt them too. It took some playing around with the orientation of the collision map image (I added a plane and applied the map image to it to get an idea of orientation. Also scales of the collision image and your model are things you may have to look at. Then it's just a matter of applying your geometry to the image with trial and error.
