I'm posting this as an answer to some questions I got regarding the lego models discussed in this thread: [ HERE](http://www.renderosity.com/messages.ez?ForumID=107&Form.ShowMessage=1569390). A lego model can consist of hundreds of pieces/objects and when imported to Bryce it can be a real hassle to assign materials, group the objects etc etc. The screenshots here explains a little trick I used to make the process easier. As you can see I have grouped the pieces by color (one red group, one black group, one grey group). Grouping the pieces in Leocad is much easier than in Bryce. I export and import the groups separately. In this way I will have them nicely grouped when imported to Bryce but I can still select invidual bricks if I wish. OK - one more important detail! You see the grey baseplate and the brick that sticks up in the back? These are just dummy bricks that are used to define the outer X,Y,Z limits of the model. In this way, when imported to Bryce, the groups are imported in the exact size and positioned correctly to each other (meaning all bricks fit). A render of this model can be viewed [ HERE](http://www.renderosity.com/viewed.ez?galleryid=559973&Start=1&Sectionid=2&filter_genre_id=55&WhatsNew=Yes).
