The ladder boxes you speak of are only there to make it possible for you to do the "Press E" key and climb up, if you want the ladder to appear there, then take the tutorial I gave you and make it. The tutorial will walk you through, step by step on how to do it.
If you do have a problem then email me and I'll try to walk you through it.
Here’s the link to my ladder tutorial once more. http://www.renhelp.co.uk/Tutorials/TUT_Boolean
But someone at the web site where it’s located has messed up the credits, and say you can contact bleboeuf, this is not correct. It was changed by someone on the site, it should read Captkurt not bleboeuf

Just a tip, but for a less poly version of a ladder you can just make a simple box, use the LADDER.DDS texture (use XCC Mixer and copy as TGA), and use the alpha blend shader.
The Boolean tool, however, is a very valuable tool to know, though.

What you say is true about the difference in Polly Count, I just made a 50'X2'X0.4' ladder using the Boolean and then did one as you mention here using the same size box. Here’s the difference Boolean ladder = 499 polygons and the box ladder = 12 polygons,
But the quality of appearance is by far beaten by the Boolean method; it looked like a real ladder, where as the box ladder looked very strange, cheap. So, if you’re really in need of cutting or saving polygons but don’t mind how it looks then this is the choice you might choose.
