Problems with BATing

I have been making building models with gmax for a few weeks now and I am not satisfied with a model that is completely textured and everything. I have been following the instructions set out, I am now suppose to look for an export button. The only problem is I can't find the export button (I would be referring to the one that allows you to choose high, medium, or low quality). Where can I find this button, do I need to be on a certain setting or something? Any help is appreciated. 

I also have a question about saving things as SC4 models. How do you save a model as a .sc4

If you do not see the export buttons, then you are porbably missing the BAT add-in. You can downlaod that here

Get the file called "Building Architect Tool"

After the download is installed you should see the export options, and after the export, the addin automaticlly saves the model as a .sc4 for you.

And once you have the BAT, you'll need to open Gmax from the BAT icon, and not the Gmax icon. If you open it from the Gmax icon, it will load Gmax, but without the BAT gamepack. If you open it from the BAT icon, it will open Gmax WITH the BAT gamepack, which is what you want.

    Great, that fixed the problem, I have my models in the game now! I have a bit of a follow-up question. How do you get signs to hang over the edge of a lot? How do you get the sign to be above a highway while the lot it is on is off to the side?
