Thanks for the feedback, guys. Shadowdragonlord, The model is grouped into four main sections. The main deck with the small building in the front (there is another on the backside) is grouped as 1. The right side structure with the stairs on it, from the helicopter deck down to the main deck, is another group. The left side building with the cranes on it is grouped also and the last group is the building in the middle between the other two. Each one of those groups is subgrouped a few more times. And yes, I familied things together, also. I'm working off of a model from the Dosch Engineered Structures collection. I also searched high and low and it seems that this is a real rig. The name of the rig is "Ellen" and is located off of the California coast and is owned by Shell. I found pictures of it from a scuba diving group that went there to dive it. I'm also using those pictures to reference and check the building of it. ICM, at work, I HAVE TO keep my patience, but this allows me to focus and forget. Quest, I think I am going to have a plethora of images off of this model. I will have calm seas in some and stormy seas in other images. I've been picturing it as I've been going along so that when I am ready to create a scene, I won't have to think about it. Size wise, it's around 340, 000 polys and a buttload of objects. Always open to suggestions on anything. Thanks again. BOOM
