PrincessL: hmmmmm. Found a friend with an old version of Max (v4), and the same thing happened there...it came in as one group, and we couldn't find a way to 'ungroup' it. But then he said that the obj import for Max v.4 was a plug-in, not a native thing, so probably it wasn't up to snuff. But I did find that some of the other programs I use could hack it apart. I use UVMapper Pro, and could select by 'Material" to separate the parts... You may wish to download either the demo version of UVM Pro, or the free "Classic' version and give it a try. And, as you said, getting one of the free or trial versions of Bryce should do it too.
