Is it safe to assume that there is no way to place large models in the background that the camera cannot get close to?

Use a VIEW entity or a SKY entity.

See here is the thing... A view entity is close to the camera and covers everything else, which isn't what I was looking for. A sky entity does not work in this manner; it still allows the camera to get close to it and it still may be contacted by other models. I've tested this up, down, and sideways; setting those flags simply does not work. I knew someone was going to respond saying this jeez.

i think you can use a normal model and use a script to hold a distance, then you can never touch the model.
you could use something like this:
while(1)
{
my.x=camera.x+500;
wait(1)
}

Yes I am currently using that method, however, the background model will still intersect with other models in the area which is something that I am trying to avoid.

A sky entity does not work in this manner; it still allows the camera to get close to it and it still may be contacted by other models. Umm, no. A sky entity does not interact with your level or any objects in it. You define a SKY entity like this:
SKY* test_sky =
{
/* clip distance is 50000 quants */
/* to keep our model IN FRONT of any skybox you have */
/* keep its x, y, z parameters LESS than 50000 quants */
type = "mountains.mdl";
x = 30000;
y = 30000;
z = 0;
/* the sky entity will NOT react with any other objects, and */
/* it will stay exactly 30000x quants and 30000y quants away */
/* from the camera at all times */
}
So, like I said: use a sky entity.

Helghast, I know that you are trying to help, but that method simply does not work. I've been trying to do this for over a month now.
Redeemer did make the mistake calling it SKY*
I know he did  I knew he did before I even pasted the code lol. Oh burn.

Whoops! I'm pretty sure that was how it was done in C-Script, but I must be mistaken. I'll have to look it up again...
@draculaFactory:
This might seem rather obvious, but have you checked in the manual for this? The manual should have an entry for sky entities.
