I'm not sure what you mean by this. What button and what pedestal are you talking about, and what does it mean to import entity models as props? Do you mean that there is an entity class that is not importing as a model even though it should be?

As an example from Alien Swarm: Reactive Drop, we have (and I haven't checked how many of these already work, sorry):

• func_asw_fade, prop_asw_fade, env_sprite_asw_fade (essentially func_brush, prop_dynamic, and env_sprite, but they fade out if you're below them in top-down view)
• asw_door (a prop, works a lot like prop_dynamic for the purposes of Blender)
• asw_ammo_rifle, asw_weapon_pdw, asw_barrel_explosive, etc. (essentially prop_physics with a hard-coded model name. it'd be nice if we can ship some kind of configuration file Plumber can read to know about these)

in portal 2 there are buttons and other entities that are essentially prop_dynamic for the purposes of blender, and none of them currently import. these include the following (not a complete list):
