Before we link it to the tavern lets just look at the ''Northmarker''.

Before we link it to the tavern lets just look at the ''Northmarker''.

Now I have had a real problem adding ''Northmarkers'' to the [[Render Window]], but I have found a workaround. Try dragging and dropping from the [[Object Window]] first. Sometimes it works - sometimes it doesn't. If it doesn't here’s what to do. From the '''Static''' list, drag a ''Night Mother Statue Base'' in to the [[Render Window]]. It’s the object just above the ''Northmarker''. Now use search and replace to replace it with the ''Northmarker''. Position the ''Northmarker'' just outside the door and adjust its Z angle to 270 so it faces left in the [[Render Window]] view. Now go to top view and shift it about 5 degrees. This ties in with the marker in the original cellar cell. You can move between the two to confirm the set up.
