Your '''Render Window''' will then load the cell at those coordinates, which is just across the river from Whiterun.  Once it's done loading you will notice that a cell named '''Wilderness''' is now highlighted with a dull grey color in the '''Cell View''' window's cell list, most likely just below the '''SnowFX''' cell.  Verify this is the correct cell by checking that it's coordinates are indeed '''3, -11'''.  You may need to scroll the list to the right some just to be sure.  If it is, then select the cell in the list, hit '''F2''' to rename the cell and change it's name to "'''LokirsTombExterior'''" since this is where we will put our dungeon entrance.

{{Template:WarningBox|As of Creation Kit version 1.4.23.0 there is a bug where larger Objects might sometimes not appear in game.

To create a load door just double click on the '''NorDoorSmLoad02''' in the exterior and check the '''Teleport''' checkbox.  Now, with the '''Reference''' window still open for the '''NorDoorSmLoad02''' go back to your '''LokirsTomb''' cell by selecting "'''Interiors'''" from the '''World Space''' drop-down in the '''Cell View''' window and double-click on the "'''LokirsTomb'''" cell, and let it load.  Once loaded click on the "'''Select Reference in Render Window'''" button just underneath the '''Teleport''' checkbox you checked earlier and then double-click on the '''NorDoorSmLoad01''' which is interior entrance of your dungeon.

Now that the doors are connected if you activate either one in-game you will teleport to the other.  But wait, you're not done yet!  Notice the yellow teleport marker that was created when you connected the doors?  This is where you will start when entering the level from the connected door.  For the interior teleport marker move it so it's roughly in the same position, and direction, as the blue COC marker.  Then double click the teleport marker to easily move to '''LokirsTombExterior''' and re-position that teleport marker so it's just outside the door, facing away from it. When you're done the teleport markers should look like the picture to the right.

When you're done the teleport markers should look like the picture to the right.


The last thing to do before you're finished with the teleport doors is to Finalize the Navmesh of both the interior and exterior cells.  To do this for the interior cell just press '''Ctrl+E''' or click the Navmesh Button [[Image:EnableNavmeshButton.jpg]] and then Finalize the navmesh by pressing '''Ctrl+ 1''' or clicking the Finalize Button[[Image:FinalizeNavmeshButton.jpg]].  A navmesh triangle under the yellow Teleport Marker will turn green after finalization.  To do the exterior cell you go through the same process, except make sure your camera is inside the cell you are trying to Finalize the Navmesh in.  Hit the '''B''' key while in an exterior cell to Toggle Cell Borders on/off.

If you're feeling brave you can tweak the navmesh in this exterior cell to better fit the static references we've added, but it's not entirely necessary since what you've added here doesn't affect the navmesh much.  Navmeshing in the exterior has it's own quirks that are probably best avoided until you get to the [[Intermediate_Landscaping|Intermediate Landscaping]] tutorial.  Still, if you do edit the navmesh in this exterior cell be sure to finalize when you are done to ensure connection to the teleport door, and to nearby cells (a green line on the cell border shows whether it's connected correctly or not).

{{Template:ProTip|When you Finalize the navmesh a link gets created between connected doors, as well as cell borders in the exterior.  This helps the game find out how to get from one place to another.  This makes it possible for NPCs to navigate around the world, and also affects how Quest Markers display.}}
