Thank you Trev. The next week I will be out, but I plan to rework similarly other beacon 3d meshes I have found on the web (variety is the salt of life
). Some of them are way to detailed, and have to find an easy way to simplify them. According to your experience, which is the maxing number of polygons/edeges/vertices that SH5 can handle safely?

No mutch to share at this moment: so far I used TDW's Editor for editing other stuff, and I am just moving my first steps into importing complex objects

Good choice but, take the following statement with a pinch of salt, the possible presence of deformable vertex data (due to gun animation) could be a source of problems...

Now it comes to the issue I'm currently dealing with. As the imported Object is placed far away from the World center I'm really have problems to reposition it within the TDW GR2 Editor.

In theory you could reposition the imported object by moving its binding bone, but as the lighthouse is way off from the center of the scene, the method you have chosen is more advisable anyway

Still analysing the *.obj files exported from TDW GR2 Editor with the ones created by blender in order to find the correct blender export settings.
Maybe someone can point me into the right direction.

I have just done what you are trying to do, without problems:
- exported the lighthouse model from wilhelmshaven.gr2;
- moved its vertex coordinates using Wings3d, which I know better than Blender;
- imported the edited lighthouse into costal_guns_small.GR2 (replacing Costal_Gun_Small_base's meshes)
- modified its material to use the correct texture.
Result:
In order to help you I need for the following information:
- what are your GR2 Editor import/export options? Are you trying to export re-import the AO map?
- does the GR2 Editor throw any error message when you try to import the modified mesh? If yes, can you report it here?
