The wiki says:
"Click and drag inside the Render Window to move the newly-created wall piece. With grid-snapping turned on, it will lock into place relatively easily."
... but for me, Click+Drag creates a selection box, like when click+dragging to select several icons on a Windows desktop. Clicking on the wall inside the Render Window deselects the object and I'm unable to move it.

COCMarkerHeading

I am new to the Creation (or Bethesda engines in general) and personally have no idea what how to spawn a COCMarkerHeading, but it appears to be rather important. Could someone knowledgeable add in a sentence or two explaining how to create and edit one near the bottom of the page when it is brought up? It would be much appreciated. --Gabeslave 21:09, 7 February 2012 (EST)

COCMarkerHeading can be found in WorldObjects > Static. It is used for the COC console command. Bethesda_Tutorial_World_Hookup explains how to add map markers for quick traveling. See also Markers. --Syneris 23:11, 7 February 2012 (EST)
You can also find this (and almost anything else) by typing some or all of the form name into the filter box and selecting the *All category at the bottom of the Object Window's hierarchy list. Joel Burgess 04:16, 8 February 2012 (EST)

In figure three (UnitScaleRef.jpg) the bar showing 256 units seems to be out of scale. greenglasslizard 2/17/2012

No STATIC > Dungeons

Just downloaded the creation kit and came straight here. There is no catagory called Static > Dungeons under World Objects in the object panel. There is "Static" but nothing in there is called "Dungeons" RedwoodElf

Problems with "Fitting the Pieces Together"

The wiki says:

"Click and drag inside the Render Window to move the newly-created wall piece. With grid-snapping turned on, it will lock into place relatively easily."

... but for me, Click+Drag creates a selection box, like when click+dragging to select several icons on a Windows desktop. Clicking on the wall inside the Render Window deselects the object and I'm unable to move it.
