Blender user anyone?

Ok this will be my first noob needs help post in quite some time, well on this forum anyway .

 

So im trying to get this exporting my model from blender things worked out and i run into some confusion.

 

i make the collisionmesh, then do whatever else i need to to my main object then export via the nifscripts.

 

next according to the tutorial im using I am to load 2 instances of nifscope one with an ashtray and one with my model and copy data from my model to the ashtray. I just wonder is this step necessary?

 

also according miax's geck manual of 3d modeling, i am supposed to name my collision mesh, i did this in blender.

so after the export, and ive done this export around ten times now, when i load the model in nifscope i am supposed to see the name of my collision mesh under the name of my object mesh. This does not happen.

 

so I wonder can someone tell me what i actually need to do now to get my object 100% ready to be in game with working collision?

 

is this method obsolete now/ is there something new? kinda hit a bump in my road till i get this cleared away, and google doesnt seem to be answering the question for me, so any help is welcome, thanks.

 

Edit: thanks to a pointer from a fellow modder (jaysus) i understand now.
