	First let's take the simplest of brush moveables: a stone block. It is not uncommon in FMs to have a hole in a wall filled with stone blocks or rubble the player can move or push out of the way. So first make your brush stone block from the same texture as your wall so it will match perfectly (if desired.) If it is a broken block (rubble) then you can cut pieces off the basic rectangular block but I would get it all working first and save it then gradually cut ~~piecess~~ off and save the early versions. You might find if you have too many surfaces it might not work. (I am still unsure about this.) I have not tried with patches but it should work. In any event you can certainly bind a patch to an unrendered block to get what you want.		First let's take the simplest of brush moveables: a stone block.

	* Make the brush an atdm:moveable_base entity. Later a proper entity inheriting from atdm:moveable_base might be made up with the following spawnargs to save time. (I couldn't get this to work with the custom entities which have to use a model.)		* Make the brush an atdm:moveable_base entity.

	In the earlier sections on making a moveable model is described how to make an external model cm file. In some situations you might instead bind a static model to a brush moveable as described above. In some cases you might make the brush moveable visible or some surfaces visible. An example makes it easier to understand: I took a model chest body. Made a rectangular brush moveable to completely fill it. I textured it with textures/common/collision but the top surface I gave it the texture that the chest used. When aligned carefully it complete sealed the top so it looks like a new luggable crate. Then bind the chest model to the brush moveable. Next add frob_peer to both the chest and the moveable brush and give each the name of the other's entity. This will mean the visible surfaces of the brush will highlight together with the visible chest when frobbed.
