Thanks for the help. ricewind, what program did you use to separate the items? I looked at both the lwo and the obj and the lwo has the 'parts' named, although it's still one mesh w/the same material... And Spit, I've worked in Poser all day making groups and assigning materials. No matter what angle I looked at it in there were polys I didn't want to include, and could not de-select them with the ctrl click. Don't know why. I had Dr. Geeps Grouping Tool primer open so I could make sure I was right. Go take a look at it in the marketplace so you can see what i'm working with. There are about 9 different material zones undefined, and hard to capture through the grouping tool. It's many props all included under 1 obj/lwo mesh. I really want to use this. I'm this close to buying a second copy for someone who will take it apart and/or group it so that it can take texures. In Poser, Vue, etc. Thanks again, BillyGoat
