Hi Marianne Thanks for your response and I wish it was that easy! The obj is in the correct folder. When I ran it through MacConverter it gave it a PC obj icon-which is the same as the blMilWom_V3.obj that I used in conjunction with the UVS file from Daz. The filepath is correct also. In the Cr2 two instances of the previous geometry name was changed. It seems that I had luck with Word98 before. I will try again with that older version. Maybe I should test changing the filepath and Obj location on a another cr2 to see if it is an issue with the changed Cr2 OR the UVS converted obj.... Thanks again- Eric I could use the V3 to V2 cr2-but I want to keep the v3 geometry! I will have to search for BBEdit Lite- I seem to remember a free version somewhere....
