Mod:Creation Kit/Cell

Type:  Papyrus: Cell Script

The Cell window can be opened using the World Menu, or by right-clicking a cell in the Cell View Window and choosing Edit. The window will look different depending on whether you are looking at an Interior or an Exterior cell. Interior Cells have four tabs; Common Data, Lighting, Interior Data, and Directional Ambient Lighting. Exterior Cells only have the Common Data tab.

Exterior
Exterior Cells belong to a Worldspace, and are part of the worldspace's landscape, which is basically a grid that extends infinitely in all directions. Each exterior cell is  Units, or approximately 192x192ft, or 58.5x58.5m. Each vertex in an exterior cell is  Units (6ft) apart.

All exterior cells are automatically given a grid number that represents their [X,Y] position from the center of the world. You will see this in the Render Window title as you select objects.
