Okay, I've used the BAT to create my lots on gmax. Now I need to create the lots. The tutorials say I use the Plugin manager (PIM) next to create I guess the ready-made exemplars. However, the PIM is impossible to use and it's a bit ridiculous to empty my Plugins folder except for those things I'm working on.

In short, it takes forever for the PIM to load just the Props and Textures.
I am comfortable using iLive's Reader, so I'd like to use that to create a file that can be then used in the Lot Editor (LE). I looked in the manual, have tinkered around in the menu items and can't find anything equivalent to "New file." The Reader will load the generated FSH and S3M files but what I need I think are the appropriate exemplars.
So I figure I have two options in Reader: copy any existing lot and modify the existing exemplars and other attributes. But I'm worried about conflicting TGIs. What do I need to make sure of if I use a copied lot?
The other option is to create a new lot with iLives Reader, but I'm sure different lot types require certain information, and must have all the required properties listed. Is there an easy way to create the exemplar from scratch with all the correct info? Is there a list which shows which attributes each lot/exemplar type needs?
BTW, I'm creating a lot with only a texture being applied, which I know how to do in the LE. The LE will not load the lot without its proper exemplars.
