what type props are you using?

either prop_staic or prop_physics(multiplayer)
you should see the errors in the console or even the compile log.

also check your fade distances on the models.

Check the compile log after the map finishes compiling like Slackiller said. A lot of smaller props as well as some larger ones will not show up at all when used with prop_static and must be used as prop_physics (or _multiplayer if you wish). If you don't want them moveable, make sure to check the Start Asleep and Disable Motion as well as Prevent Motion Enable on Player Bump and Prevent Pickup flags on the physics prop.
