Make brushes from static mesh

Hello,
I'm having a problem where when I import a static mesh, it has no brushes at all. This causes a problem because then I am not able to export my object as a .dif. I've tried to add in a cube and export my two objects, but then my static mesh doesn't show up and I just get a cube with a huge bounding box where my object should be.
Any help with getting static meshes into Torque? My object looks fine, and is textured and everything in constructor.

I believe the big box surrounding my mesh is the actual bounding box from the DTS. I just don't understand why my objects cannot be viewed in torque when I export them from constructor as a .dif. The .dts files seem to appear fine in constructor. Any other ideas on how to create brushes from my imported static meshes?

@Michael - How did you create the DTS? If it was with 3dsmax, I can take a look at it.

I created it using Blender.

@Michael - it must be something in that exporter, I don't see this behavior with DTS's that are exported from Max and Milkshape. I may be able to take a look at the DTS itself, if you want to send it, but it would have to wait in the queue behind quite a bit more items I am working on.

Thanks for your help. I have gotten around the problem by just making a dts, and then making another .dif as a collision object.
Process:
Export mesh from blender as .dts
Create a simple object in torque in constructor
Position objects at same location, and hide simple object and I have my collision.
