I don't have Carrara, Nendo, or Amapi, but I do have Lightwave. The reason I wanted to export was to do a little modification with a different tool that Bryce can't do, then import it back. I just wanted to avoid starting from scratch in Blender or Lightwave's modeler (which I'm trying to learn anyway). Also, I thought it might be interesting to see what other render engines do with stuff I made in Bryce.  But perhaps most important of all I want to build objects, export them and them import them into either the Create library or just into a scene. That way when I want something I've already made I don't have to save what I'm doing, open the file containing the desired object, copy it, then reopen the scene where I want the object. I can just import it or create it. Does that make sense?

@Mahray: Thanks for the info. I was just trying to save a little time. Perhaps when I get version 6 . . .
