    Usage
    -----
    
      Collision:
        
        Add bhkRigidBody from Create | Helpers | Niftools to represent
          a rigid body in havok.
          
        Add bhkCollProxy or bhkRigidBody Modifier to represent shapes
          and then link them to the bhkRigidBody.
          
      Exporter:
        Export files using "File | Export | Netimmerse/Gamebryo (*.NIF, *.KF)".

      Importer:
        Import files using "File | Import | Netimmerse/Gamebryo (*.NIF, *.KF)"
  
      Settings:
        Its recommended that you edit the MaxNifTools.ini file to adjust 
        paths and other settings to your machine to make it easier to work with.
    
        1. Remove irrelevant applications from the KnownApplications list
        2. Fix the RootPaths, TexturePaths and TextureSearchPaths in the 
            Applications for your machine.

    If your collision mesh comes out deformed, go to the utilities tab, 
    choose "Reset XForm" and click "Reset Selected". This should fix it.
