How in the world do you add a shape marker?? And what is it for?

I have an object made in another modler and exported as a wavefront obj. I imported it into Blender to attempt to export it. I get that error above when I try.
I have looked and tried everything I can think of to add something and name it "shape marker", but to no avail. I don't want blender tutorials. I've already looked and they show me nothing I want to know. I would just Please like to know how I can add whatever this thing is supposed to be so that I can export my shape.

Thanks. With those, I now have a dts without textures, and without a model. :/
Oh well. Mabe milkshape will do the trick.

 Done.

I followed the tutorial from start to finish. I never could do anything with Blender. It looks like it's a powerful moddler, but it's a messed up interface that I have never figured out. (I've been trying it on and off for 5 years now). If it's any consolation, I can't texture anything in milkshape. :p
I'll stick to Deled, and find something to export my dts shapes.

Even tho I followed that tut line by line, it still doesn't work.
