Yes StoneVox fully supports Stonehearth models.

1. Navigate to you **mod’s** folder _(here is a list of possible paths… most likely the first one)_

- C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\SteamApps\common\Stonehearth\mods
- C:\Program Files\Steam\SteamApps\common\Stonehearth\mods

1. open up **stonehearth.smod** with any archiver.

- WinRAR is very good but not free
- 7-Zip does it all and is free
- (basically the **stonehearth.smod** is a **.zip** file)

1. once you have the **.smod** open…

- navigate to **stonehearth\entities\decoration**
- That is where most of the decoration items you’ll be looking for are
- Just poke around through the folders till you find what you are looking for 😉

1. Now the file you are looking for is a **.qb** file

- . **qb’s** store the 3d information SH uses to create the shape and color of objects in the game
- These will be the files you will open in StoneVox, and edit to your liking
- Simply drag and drop the file to your desktop or any folder you’d like

1. Finally, open the **.qb** file in StoneVox

- Start-up StoneVox
- Drag and drop the **.qb** file into StoneVox

1. Have fun modeling and making your changes… 😄

- Files you save in StoneVox will be found in the **export** folder inside StoneVox’s main folder

**Getting it in game**

This will take some effort on your part, but is very rewarding seeing your items in game, and sharing them with the community 🙂

Here are some tutorials to get you going in the right direction

- [Question: How do you add objects to r188? - #3 by honestabelink](http://discourse.stonehearth.net/t/question-how-do-you-add-objects-to-r188/9235/3)
- [[Tutorial] Basics of adding craftable armor](http://discourse.stonehearth.net/t/tutorial-basics-of-adding-craftable-armor/10763)

I also have some sample mods, which cover all sorts of topics

- [Modding Samples](http://discourse.stonehearth.net/t/modding-samples/9452)

I’d also recommend downloading various other mods, new and old, open them up and see what you can figure out. One of the greatest learning resources is another’s work 😉

If you pursue modding the items you create into the game and run into trouble, please start a new topic on the discourse describing your concerns. We have many community member’s who are active and know what they are doing, and all willing to help 😉 .

Best of luck with your work 😄
