[Creating a new worldspace and proper use of SCOL?]

It shows as one item, example You build your Oil Rig in a test cell and then create your SCOL. It get's named just like any new form you create so if you name it "MyModOILRig_Temp" Then you just filter for that.

 

As I said you can always break them back up.

 

In FO3/NV SCOL's were nif's created by the GECK and needed to be included with the mod upload to work for others but in FO4 they are more of a group and the Ckit doesn't create a nif unless you open it's form and tell it to "Generate Nif". (In FO4 you don't need to include your custom SCOL nif's for others to use the mod properly)

 

Many of the buildings in the game are SCOL's You can Place them and then use the Key shortcut to break them back into individual parts again.

 

There are also other options for grouping forms together, "PackIn's", and "Groups". I don't fully understand how they work. PackIn's are useful because in the Object editing pallet they work like any other form and will place a bunch of loose items at one time. The odd thing is you can't use fined and replace on a form to change it to a PackIn. (I haven't tried to create one of my own and have only used the once made by the Dev's)

 

Groups are odd, you can group forms and sometimes when you select one form in the group it will select all but sometimes not. I'm probably just doing something wrong when I try them so I stick with SCOL's because Snapped item's in SCOL"s scale together instead of individually.

 

I hope I didn't give to much info and become confusing, I just wanted to let you know there were other options for grouping and placing multiple forms at one time.

 

How do I edit an SCOL from someone else's mod?

 

Specifically, the APC in "APC - Mobile Home On The Move". The APC mesh is really bad and I can just make a new one in Blender that fits the requirements. But the existing SCOL is really messy and ugly.
