Camera/custom model problem

[DondeRob]

Hello everybody,

first of all, my name is Robbie, I come from the Netherlands and I am new to this forum. Assuming I am welcome I will now proceed to do what I came here for: asking for some advise.

I've created some models of buildings (stationary objects) using Google Sketchup and I've managed to get them in-game (in San Andreas). Here is my problem: When I come close to the building and I go stand against the building with CJ's back and I look forward, then the camera goes inside the building, like it's not even there. I have noticed that the camera gets blocked when you try to "turn it inside an (original) building/object". All I can think of is that it may have something to do with the .col file, but I don't have invisible walls, so it seems fine after all. One other thing is that the colours sometimes become too bright when the light shines on it (looks like sudden flashes).

In short: is there a way to make the camera notice my models?

For those who are interested, here is one of my models: http://rapidshare.com/files/398753334/mansion.rar.html I used Villa Leopolda as an example for the model, but I know it´s far from an exact copy
