Thanks willf, I just tried it and it works with my Poser figure parts. I must say though, it's a stupid way of having to do this simple task. Why didn't Metacreations just make it possible to select two items in the Assembly room and then have them appear in the model room? Furthermore, I would have thought that Metacreations would have had the common sense to make it obvious that they had chosen to use this obscure method if putting two objects into the modelling room, or at least to have mentioned it somewhere in passing somewhere in the manual! Thanks again, willf, now I can begin to use the program again. IsaacNewton
