33+
**Export Sphere** is an MWSE tool for selecting a group of objects in-game and exporting these to a single mesh.
34+
35+
36+
## Usage
37+
38+
**Hotkey**: <kbd>Ctrl</kbd> + <kbd>Alt</kbd> + <kbd>E</kbd>
39+
40+
- Press the hotkey to spawn the sphere
41+
- Increase/decrease the sphere's size using the mouse wheel
42+
- Press the hotkey again to export.
43+
44+
The mesh will be exported to the directory `Data Files/meshes/g7`.
45+
46+
### Usage within the Construction Set
47+
48+
Using [[CSSE|CSSE's]] ability to test plugins from within the Construction Set, Export Sphere can also be ran. Extract `mwse/mods/exportSphere/main.lua` to your Morrowind modding install's `Data Files` folder, or alternatively install it using a mod manager. **Note** that since the tool requires MWSE, it will only work while running vanilla Morrowind through the <abbr title="Construction Set">CS</abbr>, not OpenMW.
