Okay, I have the nif exporter installed on max3ds already. I made a new mesh as you suggested from a spherised cube, it showed up in skyrim creation as it looked in the max3ds but when I tried to place it a red explanation mark took it's place. Here are the mediafire links, sorry for all of this, all I want is a dome roof in blue stone.... :pinch: This is the link for the nif file http://www.mediafire.com/file/8udpnzzfyopol94/Blueroofdome.nif/file and the texture I want http://www.mediafire.com/file/3x6ltdp6z2br4j5/darktiles1.dds/file Again many thanks for your help!
