Well shoot......sure enough. You can't double click but P5 has a popup box for each figure/part of a figure selected. Each of those little boxes has a properties tab with a "visible" and "visible in raytracing" box, both of which are checked. When you "uncheck" the "visible" one, the item disappears and I would guess "unchecking" the other causes it not be be rendered. Thanks for mentioning the "properties"....that turned on the old "light bulb" :)
