The biggest and most important part of this is to offset the model in the BAT. (Don't have it centered on the 0,0,0)

To set up your lot, use ONLY base textures and minimal props. This will make things easier in the long run

If you want to create a lot with overhanging buildings, take a look at the lots DAT file with reader.  (your lot.SC4lot)

Find the LD file. This file defines a number of properties, but the one we are looking at is the lot width and length. Change these to a number, for example, 1, and cllick Apply on the top right. Do not forget to do this.

Next, find the examplar file that defines the properties like LotConfigPropertyLotObjectData. Find LotConfigPropertySize, and double click it. Change the numbers to 0x01,0x01, to correspond with the adjustments we made to the LD file. Click Apply to the right, then on the bottom near the cancel button. (Make sure you do this, or your edits will not be saved!)

Now we need to remove a few textures from the lot. Find all of the LotConfigPropertyLotObjectData properties. Select all but one with the first number 0x00000002 and remove them.

*When you are finished, right-click in a white area in that same examplar, and choose "ReIndex Lot Config" This will ensure proper functionality.

Hopefully you can make sense out of this, come back for more questions!

Well, I think it is best to convert your model to a prop and make a little model with all of the properties. Well, that is because props can overhang, and buildings can't.

The only problem with props, is (If it's a building) Shadows tend to be silly and don't look right.

Don't be afraid to ask, there's no such thing as a stupid/dumb question.
