I don't have Carrara available right now, but the basic options are these: 1. When you import the object, use the Options window to specify that you want to import it as vertex objects. OR 2. If you haven't imported the object as a vertex object, then you double-click it you'll get a little blank window that says there are no modeling tools for the object. When you have that little window on the screen, go to one of the menus (not sure which one) and choose the Convert to Other Modeler command, and then convert the object to a vertex object. - Joe
