You're welcome, Mike! LOL, I love giving people dilemmas like yours! grin I think you got the answer on the eGroups list, but in case others are baffled, too... To add new directories/folders for objects, materials, atmospheres, etc., what I do is use Windows Explorer first to create the folders where I want them and move whatever items I want into those folders. Back in Vue: 1 - open the Object Browser (or Atmosphere or Material Browser) 2 - select New File 3 - navigate to the new folder you just created. Open it and select any item inside that folder. 4 - Vue will ask you what you want to call the new collection; the actual name of the folder will be preset to be used, so you can just OK that or type a different name. 5 - Vue adds the new folder and shows you the applicable contents. If I had everything stored in a "3D Objects" folder, I'd go nuts trying to sort through it each time I'm looking for a particular model. So I've got zillions of categories set up for storing items. :) P.S. You can create new folders for Vue anywhere, inside other folders or even on another drive, just as long as you intend to keep it in place. Once you've shown Vue where the folder is, Vue remembers the path to it.
