Total nOOb with mesh

[liebherr1280]

I could use any help I can get. I have been trying to convert to LOD for about 2 weeks now with no such luck. I have downloaded Trainz mesh viewer,images2tga,PM2IM, and quick shadows. I have gotten close to figuring it out. But then I get thrown a curve ball. The tutorials on Pevsoft page is no longer working, so I came here for help. So be gentle to the nOOb. Thanks for any help I can get.

That has to be done at the asset-creation stage, as it requires alterations to the mesh files, and cannot be done later on.

You must right click the "PM" Mesh, nothing else, and select, Open with, and choose PM2IM, and then it will automatically change it. Open it in CCP, and then shut it, and open it in explorer again. Open the Config, and find the mesh table and replace .pm with .im

Since you're a noob I feel I have to straighten you out on one thing.
LOD is an abreviation that stands for Level Of Detail using multiple meshes and has nothing to do with PEV's PM2IM utility which converts a .pm mesh to .im format.
