Hi Pete, very glad to see a new user:-) About your question... Unfortunately is not possible to apply a shader to a group. But, If you have the same (or the default,) shader applied to yours 350 (!) objects, you can modify the default shader and the changes will be applied to the group. When the dialog windows appear you must choose "edit the master". Another crazy (because you have 350 objects) method is to export your group in wavefront format, then importing it in carrara (when importing select "create only one group in the dialog window) and add a shader by drag and drop. I hope this help, if not, let me know, i'm here:-) TOXE
