You wil export it to your desktop, then import into your viewer in OSGrid.
The procedure is same for a single prim or a linkset which can be quite large. It is good to practice it with a simple prim, not knowing if OSGrid charges you for uploading.
Rez a box in SL. Right click on your box and at the top of the menu, click on Darkstorm and select xml export. From the options box that opens, select the download textures check box and then DS Export. In the explorer window that opens, the name of the box (object unless you changed it) will appear. Once you start exporting, you will see a notification "it may take a while for assets to upload". A simple box will be very fast..... a linkset of 100 prims with tons of textures may take a while. The notification is on a timer, I think) so you can't rely on that to tell when it is finished.
If you go back to your explorer or file manager window, you wil seel your object, with a new icon and also a folder which will say Object_assets. That folder contains all the stuff it uploaded.
To get it back into your viewer....you need to go to the top menu bar and next to Avatar is says Darkstorm. Click on this and select "Import xml/linkset. You will select the Object (not the _assets folder). From the preference window that opens, select the Upload Textures check box and select DS Import.
You will see a box with three progress bars.....One shows the number of assets and you can see them importing, then it shows the prim progress. Once it is complete, you object will appear. Big linksets may take a while.....
Hope this helps.

Thanks again for the help. NOW, I am wearing a mesh bento head in SL that I want to export to OS, but when I use either Darkstorm or Firestorm Professional, the head doesn't show up. Is the FS version difference the problem? Hands and body do show up, so it's not a bento thing as far as I can tell. Do I need to try a different<br /><br />
viewer which might be better for this?<br /><br />
<br /><br />
I just realized that the head appears to be attached to the lower back and is distorted, and creates errors if I attempt to save a copy or otherwise manipulate, telling me to view the log - which I also cannot find.<br /><br />
<br /><br />

Thanx
