nif and dds into a mod

[xenic]

I'm trying to build an interior and I have obj files and dds file. I can convert the obj into nif (I think). So once I get the nif and dds into folders will the CK recognize them and let me work with them?

nope. gotta link the mesh and the texture in nifskope. under the meshs branch its done by modifying the bsshader-properties.

Okay, so I made a simple flat square in Blender and converted it to a nif. Then I found a gray metal color.

 

Now I have graySquareWall.nif  and graySquareWall.dds   

 

How do I actually get this into Skyrim to work with it? I would like to use it with another mod. 

 

In short, I want to make a flat wall with a metallic texture.

 

EDIT: I have a wall, texture, and they have collision but the CK won't detect it.

Here is what I have so far. Look for the texture and mesh in the <ship interior> folder

 

 

EDIT2: I couldn't get the 1st version to work, so I copied the wood floor from:   Dungeon > Ship > Katarina. It was flat but the texture won't load. I can create a new object in CK and import the nif but for some reason the texture just won't load. Any help would be appreciated, I only want to do this for 2 items.
