AABB to Hammer Brushes

[gamerpaddy]

Hello, im working on a Converter for converting props into Hammer brushes.
Because im doing this while playing with others, im doing it using Expression 2. Later i will (maybe) transfer it into Lua, so i hope i find some help in here.

Well, where to start..
The Hammer brush system adds brushes using sepperate faces declared in its VMF file. lets say, weve got a simple 6 face brush.

to be not confused: brush = cube / block in hammer, block = text / code part in vmf

(for example, this is a brush at position x64 y128 z192 with size x64 y128 z192. Ive deleted the header and footer of the vmf to keep it small. The whole vmf can be found here: [url]http://pastebin.com/WcBLY9zB[/url] )

(to remember, solids are stored in "world" block. entities are sepperated from world block and represents an own block. world is usually ID 1, entity is 5 or 6 upwards.

The faces are written in vmf using this order: +Z -Z -X +X +Y -Y (found out by making an brush in Hammer, having an own texture on each face. Now when its true that Red, Green, Blue line represents X+ Y+ Z+ then the order is correct.)

Now i made a expression 2 looking for the Min and Max AABB of the Prop, and generating a brush using its coordinates.

It works, until the detected prop is having negativ angles. by a negative Pitch Yaw or Roll, like ang(0,-180,-90) hammer says something like x solids are broke, and needs to deleted.
This is because the first face of brush "solid" should be on top, but when theres an Inverted angle, its on bottom or side. Hammer doesnt like that.

Now i cant figure out how to fix this.
I tried to add an brush in hammer, rotate it by 180°, add a prop in gmod, rotate it by 180, save it to vmf and compare both.
some values was different, so i added a check:
if(Ent:up() != vec(0,0,1){ ...new coordinates block...} but it didnt worked.

Heres the e2 code.
