I didnt want to start a new thread, so I just editied this post.
I trying to make a few objects like an arch, but when I export it either has to be a box, a cylinder, or none. If I go witht he bounding box its just a big clear box with the object in it, same with the cylinder, and none would work, but I want the object itself to be solid.
I am using Milkshape with the .dts exporter, so is there a way to do it, and I am just overlooking it?

Im not much of a 3D Modeler, I can just make stuff well, so could you explain what you just said? Lol.

What do you mean you should put it on before export?, you create a material and set a bitmap to it, then assign it to your shape and export, your texture must be in the same folder and a 256x256 or 512x512 in size.

About collision mesh, when you export you can use a simple box or cylinder or use your custom made collision objects, try a simple bonding box at the beginning.

1) Create your arch in segments, like right side, left side and top - then "re-assemble" the pieces in the editor and you'd be able to walk through it.
2) Creat the actual individual blocks for the arch and re-assemble each piece in the editor.
3) use Quark of Worldcraft and create a *.DIF object to place in the mission. =)

There are 3 ways you could do this...1) Create your arch in segments, like right side, left side and top - then "re-assemble" the pieces in the editor and you'd be able to walk through it.
2) Creat the actual individual blocks for the arch and re-assemble each piece in the editor.
3) use Quark of Worldcraft and create a *.DIF object to place in the mission. =)

*.DIF is probably your best bet. Is there a reason whay it has to be *.DTS?
You do know Quark is free right?
~Just checking. =)
