+  - Go into the “File” tab on the top-most Bforartist tool bar and find “Export”. In “Export” select Ogre3D. {{ :artwork:models_vehicles:exporting_step_1.png?direct&200 |}}
+  - Now a new window will appear. In the left corner there is export settings look at these to see if there are anything that needs changed. {{ :artwork:models_vehicles:exporting_step_2_look_at_ogre_options.png?direct&200 |}}
+  - Now make sure that you are in the directory/folder that you want to export the model to and have the correct name for the file. Now push the “Export Ogre” button. {{ :artwork:models_vehicles:exporting_step_3_export.png?direct&200 |}}
+  - You should now get a bunch of files in the directory that you selected related to your model. The important one has the file extension “.mesh”.

 ==== Testing ====
+  - Open GearCity and go into Car Designer {{ :artwork:models_vehicles:1_open_gearcity_and_select_car_designer.png?direct&200 |}}
+  - Select your car type. {{ :artwork:models_vehicles:2_select_your_car_type.png?direct&200 |}}
+  - Now select your model {{ :artwork:models_vehicles:3_select_your_model.png?direct&200 |}}
+  - Now try to add accessories to and paint your car base. The first picture is a car with one submesh and the second one has two. {{ :artwork:models_vehicles:4_adding_accessories_and_changeing_color.png?direct&200 |}} {{ :artwork:models_vehicles:with_two_textures.png?direct&200 |}}
+If the game didn’t instantly crash on you when you selected your car base, the custom model was successfully imported.
 ==== Troubleshooting ====
+If you select your car base and the game crashes, you may get an ID-10T error. If this happens please open the game again and put more 710 fluid in your car this time.
+Just joking more than likely you forgot a step, but a lot of mechanics and tech support operators probably just cringed at my bad joke, sorry.
+To find out what went wrong find [[troubleshooting:steam_installfolder#Getting the Log File|Logfile.log]].
+{{ :artwork:models_vehicles:1_logfile.png?direct&200 |}}
+  - Now open it in a regular text editor like Notepad. {{ :artwork:models_vehicles:2_open_logfile.png?direct&200 |}}
+  - Now, push “ctrl+f” on your keyboard and search for “EXCEPTIONS” {{ :artwork:models_vehicles:3_exception_found.png?direct&200 |}}
+There is a high chance you forgot to do an Animation. Go back Blender or Bforartist and create the key frame animation you forgot. If this doesn’t solve your problem create a new discussion on Steam Discussions. Eric is the creator/developer of GearCity and he will help you.
