15. Make sure every model piece is welded together as that'll make it easier for you in NifSkope. Then export your three models from 3D Studio Max using the CivilizationIV NIF Exporter ( can be downloaded from [URL]http://www.silgrad.com/wbb2/jgs_db.php?action=show&eintrags_id=84&katid=12] ). Use the default options except set the Textures option to "Original images", and save the NIF to a folder in "Data\Meshes". Personally I'm using a folder called ST, where all the NIFs for the Silgrad Tower mod goes. That's it, now you're finished in Max.

16. Copy the textures your model uses from wherever you have them to a folder in Data\textures. Again, the folder I use myself is called ST, but you can name it anything you like. Never use underscores in filenames. Then, fire up NifSkope. If you don't have it, you can download it here: [URL]http://www.silgrad.com/wbb2/jgs_db.php?action=show&eintrags_id=90&katid=12]

This isn't a NifSkope tutorial, so I'll be rather brief. There's a good tutorial on the CS Wiki called "NifSkope Alchemy" which you might want to check out. In any case, start out by maximizing the window and drag the popup window off the screen. The popup window is of no use, and is just in the way. Screenshot #16 shows my Indoril entrance / exterior doorjamb in NifSkope.
