I think you get that error message because you have something selected. If you want to have different texture templates for different parts of the object, do this: 1. Select the part(s) you want on the texture template, then go to Select/Display/Hide Unselected. Deselect all. 2. Save the texture template and be sure to check "Exclude hidden facets". 3. Now go to Select/Display/Show to display all the parts again. Select the next part(s) you want to texture separately and do the same steps (1-2) as before. HTH! Sue
