To select objects beneath others, hold the ctrl key and click the object...a popup will appear that allows you to select the objects currenly beneath the mouse by name... once there Id suggest changing the object's family color so that it will be easier later... for info on this see the tutorial: http://www.brycetech.com/tutor/bryce/brycealive.html that tutorial contains flash files that detail some of the application of material to Poser imports. luck BT
