You could use Containment. It's lightmap doesn't turn machines green...

If you want to find the machines you've spawned...in the bsp viewer click the spawns tab then open the [mach] tag. It should list all the machines that are currently spawned on the map. Just double click one and the camera should automatically be placed right smack on top of the machine. So then just move the camera backwards and you should see the machine. Please note, if you spawned more than one machine it probably is located right on top of the other same machines. Basically you see one, but there are more than that located in that same exact spot.

That's because you spawned way outside the level. Make your spawn and machine spawns closer to the actual bsp.

Any thing set outside the map will not spawn.
You must set the spawns inside the map but above the BSP for a machine mod.
