Pathing NPCs into elevators

I'm trying to have an NPC to get in an elevator with the player but it won't path since it's on an upper floor so the editor thinks there's a hole where the shaft is. I'm able to get them to come inside maybe 32 units and use the elevator but it doesn't look good.
I added a solid brush hidden in the elevator floor which allows it to path in but going down kills the player, AttachTag doesn't work for solid brushes it seems.

Is there any way around this? I'm thinking maybe a trigger that removes brushes to remove that one when we're going up the elevator but I can't really find a trigger like that.

For what it's worth, we never had characters use elevators in TNM, for precisely this reason.

I was able to do it by putting a mover in the actual floor of my elevator and triggering it to move and hide in the wall when the elevator reaches the top. From there the NPC doesn't have a problem exiting somehow, without anything under.

Impressive! I would not have expected that to work :)

Thanks for posting your solution.
