I have blender, and no I have not used 3d software before... I am an idiot as I mentioned before. Also being a fellow new idiot at this, I just installed NifSkope (it's free, just Google it) and is seems to be a lot simpler than Blender allowing you to split stuff, but not actually make or edit stuff, am about to try my changes inworld now. I also have nifskope, have you figured out how to split stuff apart yet? Yep Click the item you want then right click it, then BLOCK > REMOVE seems to work then save as RaiderSkirt then in GECK you need o cread a new armor piece go into biped model and change it first then OK that box then go back in and link it to the correct original textures. block remove seems to remove everything for me, it appears that the whole model is a single mesh...
