I see what you want now, but I don't see why the absmin and absmax aren't giving that value to you. The bsp compiler calculates the mins/maxs of the brush models automatically using the planes of the model during compile time. absmin and absmax are the just sum of the model mins/maxs and the origin. The average of those values should give you the center of the model in world space in terms of its extents. This is what Center() does, which is why I don't fully understand your problem.
