Small correction: I'm not a guy :). Also I've changed the folder name to Antara, which is my proper name (extra N was tacked on to make the username unique).

Thank you! But this is actually just spheres and cylinders with various parts scaled to be smaller and bigger. I have no idea how I'm going to approach the pipe yet. I have to think about that one...

I've separate the object into groupable elements. And I also discovered that doing it after a single object is created together is easier than it would have been if I had to create and assemble the object fromparts from scratch. At least for me. And it is very simple to do with selection by shading domains, so I can be doing it going forward.

I still need help with the mapping, though. So if anyone can offer suggestions, I'd greatly appreciate them.

The new file with groupable elements is uploaded to the same folder.
