Well Lin, you might be so right. I just made a model in SketchUp and exported it as a 3ds file and everything showed up perfectly and when I select the camera, sure enough I can see the other object in black color. The previous model was modeled in Wings3d and I also exported it as a 3ds file and when imported into Vue, it would not show. I guess there is something about the way wings3d exports 3ds files. It is probabely the latest release issue because I did not have this on their last release, but then again that is another story.

Thanks again.
