static props wont compile

I am trying to add some Weighted Storage cubes to my map. When I view them in the model browser, it says that I can use them as a prop_static (Which is what I'm going for, they are crates to jump on.) However they do not compile into the BSP, saying they have to be used as a prop_physics even though they are usable as a prop_static according to the model browser Seen here.

Any idea what is wrong? And I'd really not like to make them Prop_dynamics due to the large amount of them, unless that wont hurt performance considering I've got roughly 70 prop_dynamics already.

Yeah, I'd have to do prop_dynamic_override to fix it at that point, but I'd like to have it be a prop_static for performance reasons. It says in the model browser that I can use it as a static, but then when compiling it, it says it has to be a prop_physic? That doesn't make much sense.

Alright, I did that and it worked like a charm. Didn't take the hit I thought it would to map performance, so that's good. Thanks for the help.
