How to get a visualization of an object's footprint

Introduction
Until we get a visual footprint editor into S4S I present an alternative.

This tutorial will show you how to create a visual representation of an object's footprint from a point list using Sims 4 Studio, Notepad++, and Blender.

The tutorial has several steps because every detail is covered and illustrated but this should make it easy to follow along. If you have questions or comments about the tutorial please post them in the thread along with the number of the step you're discussing.

This tutorial will not show you how to create a new footprint nor edit an existing footprint, all it will do is show you how to create a visual representation of an object's footprint from a point list. For further help getting started please see the Build/Buy/Tuning tutorial list.

What you will need

Sims 4 Studio (obviously lol)
A text editor - I'm using Notepad++
CSV Mesh Importer for Blender - sourceforge.net/projects/csv-me-importer/ (Works with any version of Blender 2.5+)
Blender 2.70


Instructions

Step 1. In this tutorial we will start in S4S. Go to the warehouse and select the footprint resource then the "ObjectPolygons" Edit Items button. Here you will see a list of point lists.
Step 1a. In this example there are 7 and each one has a different purpose. Luckily the one we're interested in this tutorial is the first one. It is specifically for the pathing and has 22 points in it's list. If you are going to change the shape, this is where you do that by clicking the Edit Items button next to "PointList" (We are not going to do that in this tutorial)
Step 2. Back out of the list view and click the Text tab at the top. Select all of the text in the window and copy it.
Step 3. Paste the copied text into your text editor. Scroll down or search for "PointList" They will be in the same order as seen in step 1a. Remember for this tutorial we are looking at the first one.
Step 4. Edit the text so that all you have left are the coordinates from that point list separated by a comma.
Step 5. Put a comma and a zero next to each set. Save this as your .csv file Notepad++ doesn't have .csv as a standard extension so you'll need to save as "All types (*.*)" with .csv as the extension.
Step 6. ON TO BLENDER! You should already know how to install plugins for Blender, if you do not, follow the directions that come with the plugin. On the Scene tab you will see "CSV Mesh Importer". Click on the folder icon and select the CSV saved in Step 5.
Step 7. Verify that the option at the top of the plugin is set to "Point list containing X, Y, Z columns" then click the "Add" button. This area changes to allow you set how the data is displayed and which column is what value. I.E: create vertexes and edges(single line), x = column 0, y = column 1, and z = column 2. This is also where you name the imported data, I have named mine footprint.
Step 8. Finally click the "Import" button.
You should now be able to see the shape of the footprint when viewed from above. The orientation of the footprint will be mirrored across the X axis from what it is in the actual game.
