How to remove the ground from the set ....

1.  Along the bottom of your work area and to the right of center and a series of icons.  They stand for water, ground, terrain, trees, rocks .... etc etc.

2.  Left click on the ground icon and hold it .... you should see a little pop up menu that says "Select All" and "Plane 1".

3.  Click on Plane 1.  Unless you have added additional ground planes, that should be the only plane in the scene.

4.  Hit your delete key.  Your ground plane should disappear.

Most freebies that you get will be in *.obj format (or some other modelling format).  To bring those into your Bryce scene ....

1.  Go to File/ Import Object ....

2.  Browse for the file that you want to bring into your scene.

3.  It should import.

4.  It MAY be made up of more than one mesh, and if so, it will usually import as a Group.

5.  To find out if this is the case, go back down to that set of icons at the bottom of the work area.

6.  Click on that little inverted triangle next to the little tri-colored square.

7.  Hold that and it will take you to the Groups and Meshes sub-menus.  You can select grouped objects and individual mesh sections using this menu ....

8.  OR .... just click on an item on your work area and hold down your control key at the same time.  That should bring up a submenu of the individual items under your cursor at the time you clicked.

I hope this helps.

Could be worse, could be raining.
