Expand the MODE tag and browse to the model you want to replace:
In the Model Viewer set the LOD to the highest one avalible:
Click export:
Save it to your desktop:

For my model, it is objecs\weapons\rifle\battle_rifle\battle_rifle
There should be 2 of them. Select the second, right click, and select rename:
Once it’s done renaming, close insolence and open the map up in Dothalo
Browse to the WEAP tag you want to make into your newly made model:
Go into the dependency window and select the MODE tag:

Now go into the weapon’s HLMT tag:
Go into dependencies, swap it back to dependencies, and swap the mode for the one you injected then click save changes:
Keep dothalo open for the next section
Fixing the battle rifle shaders
When you inject over the battle rifle model, the scope and number shaders make it look messed up in-game. As a result, you have to null out these shaders.
Open up your map in Dothalo and browse to the mode tag you injected:
Go into dependencies and null out the lens, tens, and ones shaders:
Fix encryption, close the map, and FTP.
