I changed the following code in Zoner's Half Life Tools' > hlcsg project, in hullfile.cpp, in the function LoadHullfile:
<snip> GetHullBounds() in the engine just calls HUD_GetHullBounds() in the client DLL code (in cl_dll\cdll_int.cpp). Did you try changing the hull bounds in the 'switch' statement inside this code? (the default there is (-16, -16, -36)).
