And how do I do it? I know how to export and import with an object from poser, but not how to export and import a Bryce object to a new bryce document.

err... it's just a matter of having the material/tree clicked, at whick point you bring up the materials/trees list and just go add. from that point on it's in your collection of mats and you can use it on anything you like. same with skies, objects, and pretty much anything else that has a list of defaults. as for entire objects that you can just quickly copy and paste, ctrl-c ctrl-v is good enough from one scene to another. Drac

You can also merge two scenes with the 'merge' option under 'file'. That way you can load an entire scenefile into your current scene. It's very handy to keep some order in complex scenes and to speed up workflow. You can build several pieces of your scene in different files and add them together for the final render. You can also export selected objects by clicking the little triangle next to 'create'. The object library should pop up and you can just click on add to add the current selection to the object library like you would do with sky's, mat's etc. to load the object again you go to the object library and click on the icon of the object you want to load. Then you click the little checkmark and voilyour bryce object loads. These objects can't be imported to any other program other then bryce though.

To select several objects or objects behind other objects press shift then mouse click to add several one click at a time. Press ctrl to get objects that are behind other objects. Press ctrl + shift to add several objects to the selection. The image shows the menu that pops up when Ctrl+shift is pressed. It's all the objects in the scene under the mouse. Select objects or groups you want without grabbing the foreground objects. Press ctrl-C or select copy from the menu to copy these into memory. Open another bryce file without closing the bryce application. Press ctrl-v or select paste from the upper menu to paste the selected objects from the last file into this new bryce scenefile. When files get really big and I decide something needs work I will copy the two or three objects and paste them into a blank file. I save my original file because the selection is also saved. I can work without the processor bogging down, make my changes, select again, open the old file, delete the selected items, and paste the new back into my original file. If what I try screws up the original is still untouched. I can just throw away the changes without pasting them back..

Thanks all you have benne a great help. :-)
