This is an automatically generated tutorial. It will guide you through the process of importing the model WoW Dwarven Dwarf Blacksmith Forge of the bundle WoW Dwarven Dwarf Blacksmith Forge.

Extract and Access

I am assuming that you have already downloaded the file WoW Dwarven Dwarf Blacksmith Forge.zip and know where it is located on your hard drive. The file is compressed as a zip archive. Most modern operating systems allow you to unzip the archive by double clicking it and dragging the contents out to the desktop (or any other place).

When you have extracted the archive, it should look like this:

Open World Editor and click Module -> Import Manager:

This is the Import Manager. From here you can add and remove custom files from your map file:
