True this has been done using a simple stool, the mesh building is built using a conblocks system and each object is a entiry, i am starting to think that using it in garrysmod would allow saving to a vmf, but i am not completely sure, i have the vmf for the conblocks map already and i think a modded version without the system would work fine
