Hi Folks! I've only tried what I'm about to suggest on a Power Macintosh, but I'd be interested in seeing whether my PC colleagues get the same results. Use the Painter 3D application (that ships with Poser4) to open the .DXF file. After you have repositioned and/or smoothed it to your desired specs, export it again as an .OBJ or 3DMF file. You can then use UV Mapper to generate texture mapping for the new prop. As noted earlier in the thread, you can't apply a texture to a .DXF prop anyway, so it might be better to reprocess it into a format that does accept mapping. Again, I'd like to know if anyone on a PC has tried this, and what were your results. If it's consistent across both platforms, then I can pass it on as advice to my 3D students. Peter (Dr Zik)
