thanks for responding. i'm using 3ds max. i know it can be done because i have an imported obj file in poser that will let me access 2 different groupings in that obj file, in the material room. understand? in max i export the obj file and export with groupings (should be able to access groupings in poser), in poser i import w/ groups and should be able to access each group within the obj import.

i don't want to import a buckle.obj, and then a strap.obj, and then a forearm.obj into poser...i should be able to import to poser 1 obj file that will still have the internal groupings available for use in the material room.

Comitted to excellence through art.
